MULTITUDES: IN C
Sasha Waltz & Guests, Terry Riley, London Sinfonietta
Tues 29 & Wed 30 Apr 2025
Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Envelop in a hypnotic interplay of music and dance: the London Sinfonietta partners with world-renowned German dance company Sasha Waltz & Guests for the cross-disciplinary UK premiere of Terry Riley's groundbreaking open composition In C. Revolutionary at the time of its writing (1964), it is considered the first piece of minimalist music.
Built using 53 fragments of sound and choreography, performers improvise within a structured framework to create an ever-evolving spectacle of melody, polyphony, and movement.
The length of the piece remains variable, as does the number of musicians and dancers. It is a piece about being part of a group as an individual rather than being an individual within a group.
Presented in collaboration with the Southbank Centre as part of their cross art-form festival Multitudes.
