The thunder of 14 kettledrums will rock music halls nationwide when acclaimed solo timpanist, Jonathan Haas performs Philip Glass's Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra. Louis, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Pasadena and Baltimore.
Timpani concerts are, of course, very rare.
This concert is a culmination of my 25 year quest to bring the timpani from the back of the orchestra to the front. The concerto, to be played by Haas and the resident timpanist from each of the performing orchestras, was written by Glass as a part of his work in developing entirely new musical languages.
