Nobody plays Reich’s music quite like the Colin Currie Group. They’ll be taking to our free Concourse Stage for our festival’s final concert.

Just the one piece, but it’s an extraordinary one… Steve Reich’s Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ.

Steve Reich’s Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ is one of those rare works that feels both utterly precise and completely dreamlike. Mallet instruments pulse with intricate patterns, the organ sustains glowing harmonies, and voices melt into the texture until you can’t tell human from instrument.

The result is a soundscape that shimmers, expands, and seems to suspend time itself.
