MUSICIANS
The Mallet Band is a group of percussionists dedicated to combining pitch and rhythm into something much more than a primal caveman celebration. he Mallet Band is a group of percussionists dedicated to combining pitch and rhythm into something much more than a primal caveman celebration. (Although we do like caveman celebrations…) We literally strike the instruments with mallets in order to create music that resonates through several ethnic idioms, Latin, Jazz, Brazilian, African, Jamaican. Onstage will be a concert marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, steel drums, a one-of-a-kind bass marimba and a drummer. Also included are orchestra bells, as well as crotales — which is not something you want to eat with a salad. All instruments are played acoustically, no electronics needed.
