About the event
A Percussion Odyssey
Inspire Music Australia and St Jude's Music Association present percussionist Grace Lee, who invites you to discover the beauty of the marimba in dialogue with the piano. With its broad range and warm, resonant wooden bars, the marimba allows a single performer to combine rich harmonies, bass lines, and lyrical melodies using four-mallet technique.
