Percussionist Colin Currie will join the Northern Chamber Orchestra’s first Manchester concert of 2020 at The Stoller Hall.
Currie will play an entertaining work by contemporary Viennese composer Kurt Schwertsik, whose works are characterised by his particular exploration of tonality, musical irony and humour. Colin also partners NCO’s principal clarinet, Elizabeth Jordan, in the atmospheric Nocturne by Stephen Barlow, with whom the orchestra spent many happy years in the pit at the Buxton Festival, and who conducts the piece during the concert.

The concert programme will also feature Dvorak’s Serenade for Strings, Delius’ Two Aquarelles and Praeludium from Grieg’s Holberg Suite.
