Join CSO Principal Percussion Cynthia Yeh for a pre-recorded recital followed by a live Q&A hosted by Scholar-in-Residence and Program Annotator Phillip Huscher.
Yeh performs selections from Robert Honstein’s 2016 An Economy of Means, a work of dazzling virtuosity and ethereal soundscapes. "With a few simple preparations – tin foil, a manila folder – and judicious usage of the vibraphone’s natural properties, I tried to build something vast and varied,” wrote the composer. She follows this with Elden “Buster” Bailey’s effervescent Two Sticks in Search of a Waltz for xylophone and a vibraphone transcription of an arrangement of Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Brazilian bossa nova classic Chega de Saudade.
