- REPERTOIRE: In general, the concert will progress from small ensembles to the large marimba orchestra. HMQ and LME will collaborate on a piece after opening the concert, each with a quartet or quintet piece. After that, we will add guest players and close the concert with a few pieces for the full 60-piece ensemble. We are asking for some resume information and a video so we can do accurate part assignments.
