A day that throbs and beats, recommended for all regardless of age. Starting in the morning and lasting into the late night, the concert series demonstrates the incredible variety of percussive music, from the classics to jazz. In addition to popular favourites and epoch‐making pieces (such as Bartók’s Sonata for two pianos and percussion), the programme promises moments of joyful abandon, and of course stars like Gary Burton and Chick Corea. It will be difficult to pick a favourite from among all the concerts, so why not move in the Palace of Arts for the day?

Organised jointly with Palace of Arts.
