RhapsoD

For the first time, our professional percussionists will be performing with current students from the Little Yellow Flower Foundation and the Hands Percussion Academy (HPA) as well as former students now professional performers, DeafBeat.

Taught by our professionals this is a platform on which our young students can truly showcase the 24 Festive Drum skills that they have learnt, as well as learn skills that are needed to stage a performance on a big stage and work with a team of professionals to achieve a common goal.

In this case our year-end production RhapsoD. RhapsoD aims to help our students realize that they can achieve acommon goal through patience, hard work, a lot of give and take and commitment.

Through the exploration of the fluidity of rhythms on the gamelan to rework a classical Beethoven piece, using the Japanese Taiko drums as a center piece, composing a piece for the West African djembe and other musical pieces we are so excited to see our students and friends synergize with us on stage.
