On Saturday 29 March, Colin reunited with the London Philharmonic Orchestra to perform Tan Dun’s Water Concerto at Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Conducted by Hannu Lintu, Colin’s performance of the extraordinary, culture-crossing Water Concerto has been met with critical acclaim:
"The London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the last-minute replacement Hannu Lintu, matched adventure with brilliant playing. Virtuoso percussionist Colin Currie made the Water Concerto as much about theatre as music... highly entertaining."
★★★★★ - The Times
“Colin Currie’s mesmerising display in Tan Dun’s Water Concerto with the LPO. The surface of the water became the skin of a drum as Currie attacked it... it is quite an experience, and no praise can be too high for Currie.”
Seen and Heard International
“Currie’s measured, deliberate movements gave the whole thing a curious gravity. It needed to be seen, as well as heard.”
