“Percussive Beats and Feats at Menlo”
From "San Francisco Classical Voice" on July 20, 2013

Christopher Froh, Ayano Kataoka, and Ian Rosenbaum.

San Francisco Classical Voice reviewed the first-ever entirely percussion recital (“Carte Blanche”) at Music@Menlo, featuring UC Davis’s own Chris Froh, with Ayano Kataoka and Ian Rosenbaum.

Percussionist Christopher Froh has been an invaluable presence in the Bay Area for over a decade, enlivening the contemporary music scene with performances of exceptional musicality and virtuosity. For Saturday’s Music@ Menlo program at the Menlo-Atherton Center for the Performing Arts, he was joined by two equally capable New York-based colleagues, Ayano Kataoka and Ian Rosenbaum, for a superlative concert spanning a vast range of musical language and expressive possibility.
