The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is presenting another "Virtual Recital," by one of their members today at 7 PM Chicago time, or 5 PM here in Los Angles.  (8 PM on the East Coast.)

The Virtual Recital is with CSO Principal Percussion Cynthia Yeh.  It was pre-recorded.

According to the CSO, "Yeh performs selections from Robert Honstein’s 2016 An Economy of Means, a work of dazzling virtuosity and ethereal soundscapes. 'With a few simple preparations—tin foil, a manila folder—and judicious usage of the vibraphone’s natural properties, I tried to build something vast and varied,' wrote the composer.

She follows this with Elden “Buster” Bailey’s effervescent Two Sticks in Search of a Waltz for xylophone and a vibraphone transcription of an arrangement of Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Brazilian bossa nova classic Chega de Saudade.  

You can watch the concert at this link here on the CSO YouTube Channel  However, it may stream on this player below.
