OPERcussion
Unique in its kind, the OPERcussion Ensemble combines the highest tradition of a 500-year-old orchestra with a commitment to development and innovate in the art of percussion. Formed in 2008, the members of the Ensemble each offer in their own way the idiosyncrasies, customs, traditions and creativity of their countries of origin: Germany, Holland, France and Chile.
