Terry Riley "In C"

CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS Join legendary composer and School of the Arts Artist in Residence Terry Riley, as we embark on the exploration of the hauntingly beautiful and transcendent Minimalist movement in music. This originally American phenomenon in experimental classical music of the mid-to-late 20th century has become one of the most important contributions to the musical sound-scape of our times, spreading all across the globe and influencing the widest variety of musical genres and creations, from experimental rock to movie soundtracks. Terry Riley is widely considered among the pioneers of the movement, almost single-handedly bringing it to audience's attention with his revolutionary classic In C of 1964, an evocative, almost hypnotic aural journey. This evening the magical journey of In C will be recreated on Nightingale's stage, providing a unique window into the mind and soul of one of the defining figures of 20th century artistic identity, a personality that changed the course of musical history, the composer Terry Riley.
