In 2014 Colin embarked on an extensive solo recital tour, which debuted at Wigmore Hall in London, then took in prestigious venues in Hamburg, Manchester, Minneapolis, Boston and Washington DC. Central to that repertoire was the inclusion of one of the great marimba works of the entire solo literature, perhaps the summit of the solo marimba world - ‘Moi, jeu…’ by Bruno Mantovani.

Triple Anniversary for Steve Reich, Colin Currie Group and Drumming
December the 3rd 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of the World Premiere of ‘Drumming’ by Steve Reich - in the composer’s 85th year and marking 15 whole years of my ensemble, Colin Currie Group, which was founded initially in order to perform that exact work.
In 2006 Steve turned 70 and the BBC approached me about an event to mark that occasion, as is well documented. The journey since then has been extraordinary, the most recent chapter featuring the world premiere of ‘Traveler’s Prayer’ in a four city European tour and another chance to celebrate his vast, rich and diverse musical output live in concert.
