UConn Percussion Ensemble 2016 performance of Sosso Bala (Sejourne). This piece is special to me not only because of the extended techniques such as blowing into the marimba, tapping the bars with hands, bowing the bars, and playing the opposites sides of mallet instruments, but because it is the first piece I played in Percussion Ensemble back in 2013. During this performance, I was honored to play the beautiful marimba solo at 8:00-9:20!
In honor of our 2017 show, "Fusion Symphony," members of the University of Connecticut Marching Band decided to have a little fun during finals week. Enjoy our music video of "Symphony" (Clean Bandit ft. Zara Larsson)!
