X is for Xylophone Soloist in Moscow

One of the most energetic musicians we've ever seen was this amazing young percussionist performing with the Russian Folk Orchestra Moskva when we visited Moscow during our August vacation.
He played a traditional wooden xylophone (the Greek word for wood is xylon) so fast, and moved so fast,  and so did the conductor, most of our photos of them were out of focus (see second photo).
