James Larter

Part of Just Announced Lunchtime Concerts

This event has passed.

Following his hugely popular performance at St George’s last autumn, percussionist and multi-instrumentalist James Larter returns with an exquisite programme of varied pieces for solo percussion interspersed with short readings of selected poems and short stories.

Bach Prelude from Cello Suite No 5
Albéniz Asturias
Larter Toros
Schwantner Velocities

Dyens Tango en Skaï

Larter has always been obsessed with rhythm, whether it’s a roaring Brazilian samba or the intricate palette of the contemporary classical repertoire. He is one of the most exciting young percussionists to emerge in a long time and has already performed with an eclectic array of artists from the London Philharmonic Orchestra (live on Radio 3) to Mercury-nominated Sampha.
