Time waits for no Solo Percussionist and this season has already seen one premiere in the form of HK Gruber's emotionally vast "into the open..." at the BBC Proms in London, with the wonderful BBC Philharmonic and John Storgards. A heartfelt and intense work, the piece remembers, with full grieving rites, David Drew, who was central in Gruber's life and development as a composer.

As my percussion festivals at London's Southbank Centre and Rotterdam's De Doelen continue at full throttle, I thought I'd compile a list of the complete repertoire from both venues. I'd like to thank them for supporting this amazing repertoire,  and for fronting a fascinating and in-depth presentation of the supreme world of music for percussion.
