The Grand Percussionist

What does it take to become a Grand Percussionist? How do you survive a snake pit, where your best friend might be your biggest rival? On stage, off stage and in the great outdoors, two percussionists explore the world of competition and power dynamics in the classical music world.

Making it in classical music means facing fierce competition and harsh judgments. In their show The Grand Percussionist, Yung-Tuan Ku and Che-Sheng Wu explore these themes. Through their humorous percussion theater, they illustrate the obstacles they themselves have had to overcome. Because silence is painful when those in power abuse it.
