In 2006, when, at the invitation of the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, we set about developing ideas for a new programme, we knew we wanted to create something that reveals percussion instruments in all their uniqueness and variety: as instruments that play an important and indispensable role in so many musical styles, traditions and cultures, extending from contemporary works to Afro-Cuban music and salsa, tango, taiko drumming, fusion, pop and rock and casting their spell on so many people.
In taking on this project, we also see ourselves as ambassadors promoting multicultural thinking. Percussion expresses something that also takes place on countless levels in our everyday lives: the peaceful coexistence of different traditions, religions and cultures. Even if there are occasionally problems and differences of opinion, we still firmly believe in music as a binding and integrating force. In short, The Percussive Planet is intended as our musical statement against racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia.
We also wanted to create a project that would be full of new challenges for us, a programme that would explore the bounds of what is feasible and that would make the concert unique both for us and for our audience, providing us all with a very special musical adventure in the form of a concert marathon lasting four hours. When your pulse reaches 190 beats a minute, the rhythm digs deep into your heart and you achieve that unique state of absolute flux, then as a percussionist you know you have found the greatest happiness. The Percussive Planet is the ultimate concert programme. I hope it will give you as much pleasure as it gave us when we were performing it.
