PERCUSSION CANON - Key Persons

Niek KleinJan developed the project ˜The Percussion Canon ™ because he wants to give percussion more exposure in the concert hall. The video project is the core of that plan. Next to the Canon, Niek and his team organise a lot of extra activities: concerts, master classes, new media and the PR. Because of the use of all these different resources, he suspects that he reaches a new and young(er) public so that he can introduce them to classical percussion music.The canon will include compositions by famous 20th and 21st century composers, as well as authors of less fame. In its entirety, it will be a well-balanced monument. The ˜frames ™ will represent all relevant aspects of percussion: percussion technique, composition style, attractiveness, visual entertainment, percussion setup, interpretation, originality, accessibility, popularity, and more.
