The percussionists in the FOK Orchestra are well coordinated. Yet, as in all symphonic orchestras, they operate from the back rows and are slightly hidden on the stage. Led by Lubor Krása and David Řehoř, we have decided to change this position and present our percussionists in a special evening at the Convent of St. Agnes. The top part will be played by marimba; other quaint percussion and drums will also be heard. The motley group of composers – Japanese Minoru Miki, American Steve Reich and the globetrotter Bohuslav Martinů – will be further augmented by the diversity of instruments, as the percussionists have invited other excellent FOK players.
