(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- Zeltsman Marimba Festival 2017 at Rutgers University (July 2-15), co-sponsored by Mason Gross School of the Arts, is the 14th edition of one of the world’s premier marimba events. The ZMF 2017 Concert Series presents music in diverse styles, and offers an unparalleled chance to experience the versatility of the marimba and hear an impressive slate of performers.
ZMF 2017 will bring together 70 performers—international virtuosi and dedicated up-and-coming artists—assembling in New Brunswick from 15 states across the U.S. as well as France, Germany, Luxembourg, Croatia, Israel, South Africa, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China.
This summer marks ZMF’s second visit to Rutgers in three years. The festival has previously occurred in locations around the world. Participants work closely with faculty in an intensive, musicseminar environment focused on marimba performance that has been described as “life-changing.” The marimba is a large, visually stunning instrument in the “percussion” family. Its rosewood keyboard (arranged like piano keys) is played with mallets—often two in each hand. With a large range (the same lowest note as a cello, to five octaves higher), it’s a favorite solo instrument of classical percussionists for its dynamic sound and capacity to inspire great artistic expression.
All concerts at Rutgers University, Nicholas Music Center, 85 George St., New Brunswick, NJ
