All music tells a story, but the best music tells more than one. Shostakovich鈥檚 Festive Overture opens with jubilant trumpets 鈥� but this was the Soviet Union, so it would do, wouldn鈥檛 it? Prokofiev wrote his Sixth Symphony in the aftermath of World War Two, and though it鈥檚 certainly an epic, it鈥檚 far from clear that it ends in anything as simple as triumph. At the heart of this concert, Colin Currie performs a show-stopping Percussion Concerto by New York-based percussionist Andy Akiho. In Colin鈥檚 own words, he鈥檚 鈥渃ompletely blown away by the verve, joy, depth of emotion and vibrancy of colours鈥� in this music, composed in 2019. Prepare for big-hearted marimba solos, chopsticks with amplified rice bowls (!) and a groovy 鈥楪rand Finale鈥�.
