As part of Make Music New York, six percussionist performed Persephassa, by Iannis Xenakis, on boats in Central Park Lake. It was an interesting interpretation of a rarely performed piece. The piece is rarely played, in part because of the unusual spacing of the ensemble. The six percussionists must sit in a hexagonal formation around the audience.
