“Exhilarating” probably best describes Austrian multi-percussionist Martin Grubinger’s performances. The sheer energy in his playing, and his virtuosity and unique musicality set concert halls aflame wherever he plays. Over six concertos have been written especially for him, and he was Artist-in-Residence at the Leipzig Gewandhaus in 2008/2009. If you have missed his performance with Hong Kong Sinfonietta in 2008, don’t miss him twice!
