“Reich at 90”
Featuring Members of the University Symphony Orchestra and guests
Curated by Sarah Brailey, Anthony Di Sanza, and Oriol Sans
Program: Reich: Music for Pieces of Wood; Reich: Know What Is Above You; Reich: Tehillim
Celebrating the 90th birthday of one of the most influential composers of our time, “Reich at 90” brings together three works that illuminate Steve Reich’s extraordinary musical imagination. From the hypnotic pulse of Music for Pieces of Wood to the intimate interplay of speech and music in Know What Is Above You, and the ecstatic energy of Tehillim, the program traces Reich’s lifelong fascination with rhythm, repetition, language, and the human voice.
Together, these pieces reveal the remarkable breadth of a composer who has continually expanded our understanding of what music can be: at once precise and spontaneous, ancient and modern, intimate and exhilarating.
