Colin Currie performed Tan Dun’s Concerto for Water Percussion and Orchestra on 11 & 12 November 2020. The performance can be viewed online until 11 December.
“Putting a long story short, the performance by Currie, Salonen and the Helsinki Philharmonic on Wednesday was one of the most extraordinary things I’ve ever experienced in a concert hall. Everybody involved was fully committed to bringing the Water Concerto into being, resulting in an unforgettable adventure. Currie’s command over the solo part was simply admirable, resulting in a superlative account of Tan Dun’s brilliantly conceived percussion textures”

“Colin Currie was great. When he played, he took the space and made it something more than just a concert hall. There was a space where there was.”
