Led by COLIN CURRIE, the hand-picked ensemble was formed in 2006 for a performance of Drumming at the BBC Proms to celebrate the 70th birthday of Steve Reich.
Since then, the Colin Currie Group has performed in concert at many major halls and festivals worldwide, performing regularly at London’s Southbank Centre where Currie is Artist in Association.
In 2018, the group’s highly anticipated recording of Drumming was released on Colin Currie Records after a successful Kickstarter fundraising campaign, fully supported by Steve Reich.
As Steve Reich said himself in the Irish Times “Another performance that knocked my socks off was Colin Currie and his group doing Drumming at the Southbank this year. It was miked up high, it was expressionist, it was a brand new take. And I thought, Oh, we never could have done it that way.”
“The world’s finest and most daring percussionist”
