Fresh from a critically acclaimed performance at the Edinburgh International Festival, this week Colin travels across the Atlantic for his highly anticipated debut at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
On Thursday 7 August, Colin will perform in what will be the festival’s first-ever solo percussion recital. The programme will include the wide-ranging repertoire of Kevin Volans’ Asanga, Dani Howard’s Vasa (which Colin recently premiered at London’s Wigmore Hall), Tansy Davies’ Dark Ground, Andy Akiho’s Spiel, Toshio Hosokawa’s Reminiscence, and Rolf Wallin’s Realismos Mágicos.
On Monday 11 August, Colin is joined by New York Philharmonic Associate Principal Percussionist Daniel Druckman, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra Principal Percussionist Gregory Zuber, and Doug Perkins for Steve Reich’s Mallet Quartet, before they unveil the US premiere of a new work by former Santa Fe Young Composer Freya Waley-Cohen: Stone Fruit.
Colin returns to the festival once more on Wednesday 13 August, joining an ensemble of Festival musicians for Artistic Director Marc Neikrug’s World War II–set “play with music,” Through Roses, narrated by Tony Award-winning actor John Rubinstein.
