Colin Currie Group

The Colin Currie Group is a virtuosic ensemble founded by Scottish percussionist Colin Currie, renowned for its dynamic and precise performances of contemporary music, particularly the works of American composer Steve Reich. Formed in 2006, the group specializes in Reich’s percussion-heavy repertoire and has become one of the foremost interpreters of his music, earning praise for its energetic, faithful renditions of landmark minimalist works like Drumming and Music for 18 Musicians.

Built around a flexible core of top-tier percussionists and musicians, the Colin Currie Group brings a lively and committed approach to the concert stage, often collaborating directly with Reich himself. Their recordings and live performances globally have helped introduce new audiences to the intricate beauty of minimalism, solidifying the ensemble’s place as a go-to ambassador for this genre.
