You don’t often combine comedy with the symphony. But for the Florida Orchestra in Tampa Bay they go hand in hand. This is a video from 2017 but I just saw it recently and had to share. Its the head percussionist pulling off what is quite probably the greatest triangle solo ever done. And he goes for it big time! Props to the Florida Orchestra for having fun where you can. And especially to John Shaw, the soloing percussionist, for going full on lead guitar solo style with just a triangle!
Triangle Solo with John ShawTriangle solo? Surprising. Not surprising? John Shaw. That moment when the principal percussionist recreates the GEICO commercial during a concert.
