Colin Currie live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Colin Currie live on August 28th

Colin Currie will perform at Usher Hall in Edinburgh on August 28, 2026. Currie is a highly regarded percussionist known for expanding the solo repertoire for his instrument and commissioning numerous works. His musical style frequently blends classical technique with contemporary compositions, often featuring extended techniques and explorations of timbre and rhythm. He’s particularly noted for performances of works by composers such as Steve Reich, Martin Bresnick, and Jennifer Higdon, alongside his own arrangements and collaborations.

Usher Hall, opened in 1879, is a prominent concert venue in Edinburgh and a significant landmark within the city. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, its architecture reflects a blend of Scottish Baronial and Renaissance styles. The hall was originally conceived as part of the Edinburgh International Exhibition and has since hosted a wide range of performances, including classical music concerts, orchestral events, choral works, and popular music acts. It underwent a major refurbishment completed in 2009 which enhanced its acoustics and facilities while preserving its historic character. The hall is recognised for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere within a large space. It regularly features as a key venue during the Edinburgh International Festival.
