Featured Video: ADELANT by Ivan Mendoza

ADELANT is composed for percussion sextet consisting of two marimbas, two vibraphones, percussion and piano. It is a small-scale work that aims to sonically emulate the sound of a full percussion orchestra using only a few players and limited instrumentation. The term is derived from the Spanish word “adelante,” meaning “forward,” which underlies the compositional intent to create a cinematic and immersive listening experience for both the audience and performers.
