After Dark: Colin Currie
Join us for a late-night journey with percussionist Colin Currie and a London Philharmonic Orchestra string quartet, exploring rich textures and rhythms.
The programme opens with Bryce Dessner’s Tromp Miniature for marimba, a shimmering interplay of melody and rhythm.
Andy Akiho’s Aluminous pairs vibraphone with string quartet to create a hypnotic, ever-evolving soundscape, followed by Jessie Montgomery’s Break Away, a thrilling, kinetic work for string quartet.
The night ends with Robert Honstein’s Continuous Interior, a multi-layered exploration of vibraphone and strings.
