Show For August 1, 2010: Composer/pianist Kevin Puts and Percussionist Colin Currie
As the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music begins its 2010 season, we speak to two of this year’s featured artists about their upcoming performances. Kevin Puts, best known for his composing, talks about the challenges of performing his own piano concerto Night for the first time. In part 2, percussion virtuoso Colin Currie describes his rendition of Jennifer Higdon’s Percussion Concerto. We listened to Colin’s Grammy-winning performance of the concerto with the London Philharmonic as we discussed the piece.
