"a supremely musical and assured artist"
Season 2015/16 sees HK Gruber's "into the open..." launched into same, and the World Premiere of Andrew Norman's feisty concerto "Switch"
Time waits for no Solo Percussionist and this season has already seen one premiere in the form of HK Gruber's emotionally vast "into the open..." at the BBC Proms in London, with the wonderful BBC Philharmonic and John Storgards. A heartfelt and intense work, the piece remembers, with full grieving rites, David Drew, who was central in Gruber's life and development as a composer.
