The Colin Currie Quartet’s performance at London’s Kings Place last month was met with overwhelming praise by the press as they captivated their audience with music by Steve Reich, Connor Shafran, and Rolf Wallin, to name a few. The quartet received a number of wonderful reviews from varying sources including The Guardian, who described the concert as “a sonic display of startling magnificence”.
The Financial Times mirrored this enthusiasm, stating: “This was rhythm as pure excitement, and it concluded a concert that richly explored the nature of music and rhythm”.
The Arts Desk further commended the evening, claiming: “the Colin Currie Quartet demonstrated that you don’t need to rely on technology to get 360-degree sound…a concert that pulled us between intense repetitive sequences that felt almost hallucinatory…and the raw fizzing energy of the percussion section…it felt as if we were not just listening through our ears but through every cell in the body as the vibrations charged and electrified the atmosphere.”
