On November 6th, the Colin Currie Group ends their European tour with a performance at the Philharmonie de Paris. Along with their long-standing collaborators Synergy Vocals, the group will be performing a program of Steve Reich's music, including Traveler’s Prayer, Tehillim and Music for 18 Musicians. The performance will take place in the Grande Salle Pierre Boulez, and marks the French premiere of Traveler’s Prayer, a piece written for the Colin Currie Group and Synergy Vocals.

Our highly treasured world premiere by Steve Reich, ‘Traveler’s Prayer’ has finally come into this world, in concert at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and London’s Royal Festival Hall, to wrapt and enthused capacity audiences. We are elated!

This Sunday, October 3rd, marks an extraordinary anniversary for one of music’s greatest pioneers - the 85th birthday of Steve Reich. Of the many causes for celebration on this day, I would perhaps say that his current and tireless musical trajectory is foremost.

This October, the Colin Currie Group and long-standing collaborators Synergy Vocals embark on one of their most exciting projects to date: a European tour for the world premiere of the new Steve Reich piece Traveler’s Prayer. Composed with the group in mind, this 15 minute work sets part of the book of Psalms to music. Harmonically rich and complex, it is set to become one of the masterworks of Reich's oeuvre.

In its 5th Anniversary, Messums Wiltshire welcomes The Bridgepoint Ensemble to its multi-purpose gallery and arts center on September 17th at 7pm. Colin performs a program with the ensemble entitled “Out of the Woods” centering on the re-emergence of live performances.

During the first week of September, Colin performs three concerts as part of the Purbeck Chamber Music Festival. Created in 2019, the festival takes place each year at the end of summer on the idyllic Isle of Purbeck in intimate venues scattered around the island.

On August 7, Colin hosts BBC Radio 3’s Inside Music, the beloved series presenting a different musician each week. Guest presenters — who have included countless artists such as violinists Rachel Podger and Tamsin Waley-Cohen, singers Lucy Crowe and Joyce DiDonato, and composers Mark Simpson and Gavin Higgins — curate the playlist and explore their selections from the inside. Having hosted his first episode in 2018, Colin returns with personal stories and another eclectic playlist that includes music by Claudio Monteverdi, Radiohead, and Steve Reich.

On July 31, Colin makes his conducting debut with the Chamber Ensemble of the London Symphony Orchestra. The program, Blurred Boundaries, straddles the line between pop and classical genres with works by Anna Meredith, Andy Aikho, Max Richter, and two composers with whom Colin has a special relationship: Steve Reich and Bryce Dessner.
