Colin is in Warsaw, performing on stage with the Warsaw Philharmonic on Friday 4 December. He’ll play two concertos: Andrzej Panufnik’s Concertino for timpani, percussion and strings and Kurt Schwertsik’s Now your hear me, now you don’t Op.102, receiving its Polish premiere. There will be no audience present due to current restrictions, however the performance will be broadcast live online, at 19:30 CET on 4 December.

Colin first performed Panufnik’s Concertino on stage in 1992, aged 15 with the London Symphony Orchestra, as part of their Shell/LSO Music Scholarship - indeed his first ever concerto performance! This concert with the Warsaw Philharmonic marks Colin’s professional debut of the piece.
Tomorrow I will give my professional debut performance of the Andrzej Panufnik ‘Concertino’ which kind of invites a #tbt to July 9th 1992 and the first time I *ever* played a concerto, aged 15 - with the @londonsymphony as part of the Shell/LSO Music Scholarship.
