Christoph Sietzen, a master of the marimba, has revolutionized the instrument with his virtuosity and stage presence. Debuting at the Salzburg Festival at 12, he inspires contemporary composers while also exploring early music, including playing the harpsichord. He combines these worlds with the Academy of Ancient Music, featuring a new piece by Giorgio Musolesi for percussion and baroque orchestra.
