Colin Currie steps up as conductor, bringing together members of his own Colin Currie Group with Royal Northern Sinfonia to kick off our Steve Reich at 90 festival.
Percussion meets piano in a night dedicated to Steve Reich – the master of rhythm and repetition.
Our birthday celebrations start with some of his best-known pieces, including a mesmerising performance by Colin Currie and Royal Northern Sinfonia’s Jude Carlton of Clapping Music. You’ll also hear the driving energy of Runner, the interlocking lines of Double Sextet and the epic sweep of The Desert Music. Expect sound that’s raw, intricate, and relentless.
