Steve Reich at 90

Steve Reich has been called ‘the most original musical thinker of our time’ (The New Yorker), and ‘among the great composers of the century’ (The New York Times). Starting in the 1960s, his pieces It’s Gonna Rain, Drumming, Music for 18 Musicians, Tehillim, Different Trains, and many others helped shift the aesthetic centre of musical composition worldwide away from extreme complexity and towards rethinking pulsation and tonal attraction in new ways. He continues to influence younger generations of composers and mainstream musicians and artists all over the world.

Throughout Memory Unwrapped and our Celebration of Reich, you will find ensembles such as the Colin Currie QuartetPhaedra EnsembleCarice Singers and Solem Quartet perform some of his most iconic works.
