The Wave Quartet
Four sound acrobats
7 to 9 p.m., break
Under the mallets of the Wave Quartet, the marimba is celebrating a triumphal march through concert halls. “We have so many possibilities, the instrument really is a chameleon, you can change it in all directions,” says Bogdan Bacanu, founder of the Wave Quartet. In the Wave Quartet, the four specialists let the mallets whirl together, but also elicit sounds of the greatest delicacy from the marimba.
