The repertoire for solo
percussion ensemble with symphony orchestra is growing rapidly both in
importance as well as in quality. The activity of Tambuco,
participating as a solo ensemble with orchestras has been quite
relevant. Tambuco has appeared at
concert seasons of various orchestras in
Mexico, the U.S. and Europe, and is in the constant search of composers
who would like to write for this combination. Amongst others, Tambuco
has performed with the following chamber and
