STEVE REICH & TERRY RILEY

Steve Reich Come Out to Show Them
New York Counterpoint 
Cello Counterpoint 
Electric Counterpoint 
Violin Phase 
Terry Riley In C (extract) 

The seminal minimalist scores of Steve Reich and Terry Riley changed the direction of music in the 1960s, their deft use of repetition and slow harmonic rhythms creating hypnotic soundscapes. Following its sell-out performance in 2015, the London Sinfonietta returns to Nottingham Contemporary with Reich’s iconic New York, Electric and Cello Counterpoints and his Violin Phase before joining University of Nottingham music students for Riley’s improvisatory In C.
