Virtuoso percussionist Colin Currie, described by Steve Reich as “one of the greatest musicians in the world today” and by Gramophone as “at the summit of percussion performance”, is joined by members of Ensemble 360 for this concert of life-affirming music for percussion and string quartet. Highlights include ‘Tromp Miniature’, a hypnotic, meditative marimba solo by GRAMMY-winning composer Bryce Dessner (also guitarist with rock band, The National), and Andy Akiho’s ‘Aluminous’, in which minimalist percussion loops are underscored by ravishingly expressive strings.
Part of Music in the Round’s Percussion, Pattern & Primes weekend.
