A colourful mixture of percussion instruments will swirl within the Holy Trinity Jordan Hall in Tauranga City this month as Tauranga Musica's next 2023 concert gets underway.

‘Double shot' – on Sunday, May 21, from 2pm at Holy Trinity is the duo Yoshiko Tsuruta playing marimba and percussion, and Jeremy Fitzsimons on vibraphone and percussion.

'Formed in 2015, Double Shot provides a colourful mixture of percussion instruments based around marimba and vibraphone,” says Kathy Stewart of Tauranga Musica.

'The duo's strength lies in the wonderfully subtle variety of their performances and the rich, mellow resonance of their instruments.”

Partnering with Chamber Music NZ to bring the concert to town, Kathy says it begins with playful, lively crowd-pleasers by contemporary composers, including Kiwis John Psathas.

'The second half is dedicated to Debussy's exquisite storytelling through his ballet score ‘La boîte à joujoux' (The Toy Box), which has been arranged for Double Shot by Yoshiko.”
