Join BackBeat Percussion Quartet for one of their theatrical and visual concerts featuring a wide variety of percussion instruments from all over the globe. The group blends many potent strands: art music, folk music, choreography and music theatre via an often explosive virtuosity. BackBeat’s performances have been inspired by their many trips abroad including Japan, Zimbabwe and the Caribbean, so be prepared for an exhilarating experience.
BackBeat Percussion Quartet (Chris Bastock, Damien Harron, Simone Rebello and Stephen Whibley) is an award-winning Percussion Quartet. The quartet has appeared in such prestigious venues as the Royal Festival Hall (London) and Weill Hall, Carnegie Hall (New York). Recent international trips have included a fourth tour of Japan and a sell-out appearance at the Cayman Arts Festival.
BackBeat’s recording activities have included two highly successful CDs and numerous television and radio broadcasts. Highlights have included a televised performance of their BBC Prom debut in 2002 and a concert broadcast in its entirety on Japanese national TV. The group also performed to a global audience in 1999 in a live broadcast from Westminster Abbey in the presence of HM the Queen.
