Steve Reich Music for Pieces of Wood Bryce Dessner Tromp Miniature Andy Akiho Aluminous Robert Honstein Continuous Interior Colin Currie Percussion RSNO Chamber Ensemble If you can hit it, you can make music with it – and in the hands of Scottish percussion superstar Colin Currie, anything’s possible. A team of RSNO musicians joins Currie for an afternoon concert with a transatlantic flavour, all inspired by a giant among living composers, Steve Reich. Pieces of wood, aluminium bars, the chime of the marimba and the otherworldly atmosphere of an airport lounge: with a bit of magic, they can all create music. And Currie has wizardry to spare.
