This musician is percussionist Rie Watanabe and she is seen performing during a “Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra” by Mauricio Kagel. This particular piece of music has an unusual task for the percussionist which is quite hilarious to see!

▼ The percussionist is requested to finish her playing by plunging her head into one of the big drums that she had been playing during the concert!

▼ This is the actual score of music along with the animated image of the musician placing his head into the instrument. It seems that the musician has faithfully those instructions!

Most people in the audience would not have any idea that this funny finish by the percussionist was about to happen so I am certain that this would be quite a surprize for the people watching this concert!

It was the first time to see an orchestra perform this piece of music and it was wonderful to watch!
