Ping-Pong Sextet

Ping-Pong Sextet

2 ping pong players/table; flute, cello, "referee" at synthesizer, and Soprano "reporter"

Musical theater work, around a ping pong table game with 2 players acting as percussionists, creating sound effects as they play.

U.S. Ping-Pong champion Marty Reisman performed in the premiere with NY Parks Recreation director Matthew Pards, flutist Peter Schultz, and cellist Larry Rowdon. Riverside Table Tennis Club, New York City, 1977.
