Performance

My initial activities as an artist were as a solo performer
on large arrays of percussion instruments. At the age
of fourteen, I decided that I wanted to be a musician.
This took me on a journey which brought me to New York
to study percussion in 1957, to the stage of Carnegie
Hall as a solo percussionist in 1964, through a solo tour
of European capitals in 1965, and finally to record my
solo repertoire for Columbia Masterworks in 1968. At the
age of twenty-eight, I decided to stop performing.
