Enjoy Hayden’s expressive performance of Yellow After the Rain, one of the most beloved works for solo, 4-mallet marimba by composer and percussionist Mitchell Peters. Known for its lyrical beauty and emotional depth, this piece has become a rite of passage for young percussionists around the world.
As Hayden’s little sister remarked “he’s only been on the Marimba for 3 months ….why is he playing Bach and not Long Long Ago?”
Remarkably, Hayden has been studying the violin for only three months, yet delivers a poised and musical interpretation that reflects both natural sensitivity and a disciplined approach to learning.
