My Other Job

On March 3 in Nanaimo and March 4 in Duncan I will get to be a marimba soloist with the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra. I will begin the second half of their program with a marimba solo by Paul Smadbeck called Rhythm Song and finish the concert with Ney Rosauro's Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra, an exciting work with jazz and Brazilian influences.

I'll be playing my Marimba One marimba which was built for me by Ron Samuels in Arcata, California just over 3 years ago. The instrument itself is a work of art, thanks to Ron, with Honduras Rosewood bars and a cherry frame. It is 100 inches long and over 200 pounds!
