Steve Reich’s ‘Drumming’ performed by Colin Currie Group
The young and vibrant Colin Currie Group offers an engaging interpretation off Steve Reich’s iconic masterpiece, Drumming.
This theatrical and captivating showcase for percussion is a non-stop fusion of bongo drums, marimbas, glockenspiels and synthesised vocals. KBC Music in Great Irish Houses is proud to present the only Irish performance of this gargantuan work.
Since their debut at the BBC Proms with Drumming, the group have performed the work to great acclaim at many major venues and Festivals including 2 sell-out events at London’s Southbank Centre and the 2011 Cheltenham Festival.
Reich himself said of their performance, “I think this man has taken this piece into another generation, yes, but beyond that into a finer level of performance and has opened it up to me as a kind of revelation, and I want to thank him.”
