In short

Leonardo Soto is listed as a timpanist (a player of the large kettle-shaped drums) in Houston Symphony programs this season: a chamber series concert in November and two holiday brass concerts in December. The directory has no further details, so this page sticks to those listings.

What to listen for

Timpani give an orchestra its low thunder and its sense of ceremony. In the Joyful Fanfares holiday brass concerts, expect the drums to add weight and sparkle under trumpets and trombones. Timpani are tuned to specific notes, so a good player changes the pitch with a foot pedal and listens closely to the group. The November chamber listing is a program of Cekovska, Haydn and Poulenc, where the drums' role may be small or occasional.
