On heels of the Percussion Concerto receiving a GRAMMY, and its being programmed on next year’s Oregon Symphony season, I thought it might be nice to get a preview. Here’s Colin Currie (who will play the piece here in Portland) with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. This appears to be a cadenza with participation from the orchestra’s percussion section.

I had the great pleasure of attending the Eugene Symphony’s performance of Jennifer’s fantastic concerto last year, with the incredible Evelyn Glennie performing the solo. It’s a tour de force for the soloist, and I look forward to Colin’s performance with us. Since Jennifer considers Portland like a second home (she has family here), maybe we could convince our team to bring her here for the occasion of this performance?????
That would, of course, be fabulous! I hope that she’ll be able to come as well.
I just heard from Jennifer, and she’s said that she is planning on attending!
