The snare drum has its big appearance in this chamber concert program. Due to its resonant skin covered with wires, the snare drum is known in English as a snare drum and is a central percussion instrument in many musical genres, from marching music to jazz and rock music to classical music. With its bright sound, it creates clear accents in the orchestra and provides rhythmic definition in the percussion ensemble. Whether as a percussive addition in combination with clarinet, horn and violoncello, as a rhythmic motor in the percussion ensemble or as a soloist - the percussionists of the Munich Philharmonic demonstrate the diverse tonal nuances of the snare drum with this program compilation.
