What fun!! "Constellations for Organ and Percussion" by Dan Locklair, performed this afternoon at The Church of the Epiphany by Leon Khoja-Eynatyan and Scott Hanoian. The percussion instruments were the marimba, two timpani, brake drum, suspended cymbol, three tom-toms, vibraphone, traingle, glockenspiel, xylophone, orchestral chimes and snare drum. Where did Khoja-Eynatyan learn to play this music? Studying at an institution in Moscow with the unlikely name of the Maimonides State Conservatory.
I am not sure where you can hear this piece, but you certainly should try.
Khoja-Eynatyan played a solo marimba piece called Tune for Mary O, by Rich O'Meara, written in honor and memory of his sister. A beautiful and sad and Irish elegy. Very nice.
Hanoian played Bach's Prelude and Fugue in B Minor, and he played it very well, but the stars of the show were the contemporary pieces.
