On Thursday 8 May, Colin brings his tenure as Associate Artist with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland to a close, marking the exciting culmination of a three-year partnership with the conservatoire.

Colin will conduct the students in Steve Reich’s Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ, John Adams’ Grand Pianola Music, and Robert Honstein’s Endless Landscape, before closing the evening with Steve Reich’s Music for a Large Ensemble - a work which was last performed in Scotland almost 25 years ago in September 2000.

The programme will also feature the world premieres of two student composers: Sam K’.s Age of Automation and Calum Walker’s Redactor, bringing the total number of world premieres during Colin’s tenure to six.

Looking ahead, Colin travels to São Paulo, Brazil later this month to perform with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra, in addition to conducting the OSESP Music Academy.
