No.  There were almost no printed program notes for any of the pieces.
(The same booklet served for over a dozen concerts in the four-week
series.) One of the performers (a percussionist, in this case) orally
introduced each piece at the concert I attended.  In English.  He had his
colleagues demonstrate the sounds of some of the "found" instruments --
flower pots, metal pipes, and washtubs.
