Colin Currie Group live in London

Experience Colin Currie Group live on October 28th

Colin Currie Group will perform at Barbican Hall in London on October 28, 2026. The ensemble is internationally recognised for its dynamic and virtuosic performances of contemporary classical music, with a particular focus on percussion-driven works. Their repertoire frequently features compositions written for and with Colin Currie himself, often expanding the traditional role of the percussionist beyond rhythmic accompaniment to a central melodic and harmonic voice. They commission new pieces and collaborate with leading composers, exploring innovative sonic landscapes and instrumental techniques.

Barbican Hall is a prominent concert venue located within the Barbican Centre, a Grade II listed modernist estate in the City of London. Opened in 1982, it’s renowned for its exceptional acoustics, specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of musical genres including orchestral performances, chamber music, and contemporary works. The hall seats approximately 1,943 people and has hosted performances by many of the world’s leading orchestras and musicians. Its architectural design prioritises sound quality through adjustable acoustic panels and a carefully considered layout. The Barbican Centre itself was constructed as part of post-war reconstruction efforts aiming to create a cultural hub within the area devastated by bombing during World War II.
