GRAD Percussion Duo and Tatjana Rediko present their new concert program "Light and Passion".

The bright, almost surreal sound of the vibraphone, hanging in the air, merges with the warm tones of the marimba, which unexpectedly changes from the clarity of the virtuoso passages to the room-filling organ sound. The soulful cello singing, in which subtle shades of emotion are embodied, completes this breathtaking synthesis.
