Percussion Takes Center Stage In A Mesmerizing Trio Performance

Percussion steps out of the background and into the spotlight in a riveting performance of Nebojša Jovan Živković’s Trio per Uno Op. 27, where rhythm becomes both voice and narrative. Performed with striking precision and physicality by Saitō Ayaka, Ikeda Airi, and Nishiyama Chisato at Tokushima Bunri University, the piece transforms drums and mallets into pure theatre. It is a reminder that percussion can command the stage with as much melody, drama, and intensity as any solo instrument.
