Colin Currie is the world’s foremost percussion soloist. He travels the globe performing concertos and recitals, collaborating with artists like the JACK Quartet and Hakan Hardenberger, and championing the music of Steve Reich with the Colin Currie Group, which was founded in 2006. Most recently, he debuted the Colin Currie Quartet, a project with Sam Walton, Owen Gunnell, and Aidy Spillett, which is performing new, substantial works for the repertoire. He is responsible for the commissioning of most of the “standard” concerto repertoire that we have, and it’s an honor to sit across the table from one of my most important mentors.
