The BBC World Service programme ‘In the Studio’ spent the last few months following Colin as he prepared to give the first performance of Helen Grime’s Percussion Concerto. Colin gave their producer Nicky Barranger unique and exclusive access into his world as he made preparations for the concert at London’s Royal Festival Hall and he invites the listener into his music room to hear parts of the work in development. The programme also features interviews with Helen Grime and conductor Marin Alsop.
The programme will be broadcast on BBC World Service on 12 February 2019 at 11:30am (GMT) and will be available to listen again here.
