THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Powerful. Enchanting. Beauty and the beats.

Powerhouse ensemble and specialists in the music of legendary minimalist composer Steve Reich, the Colin Currie Group, help us celebrate Steve Reich’s 90th birthday in this very special concert.

From the stripped-back energy of Music for Pieces of Wood to the shimmering textures of Quartet and the epic sweep of Music for 18 Musicians, this is music that connects head, heart and body. It’s joyful, hypnotic, and alive with movement.
