TICKETS + INFORMATION

A celebration of a classical composer that isn’t tied to a round-number birthday: now that’s radical. But then so is pioneering Minimalist (he balks at the label but he’s stuck with it) Steve Reich, who has certainly outridden the initial haters. Tonight, the Colin Currie Group (a percussion ensemble beloved by Reich) and Synergy Vocals will perform the U.S. premiere of a new work that everyone is saying is utterly unlike anything else Reich has written (quite an accomplishment for an 86-year-old) and two older works that are among the best of the late 20th Century: Music for 18 Musiciansand Tehillim.
