Steve Reich at 90: Triple Quartet + After Dark
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Catch the Carducci, Ligeti, and Solem Quartets in a rare, fully live performance of Reich’s energetic Triple Quartet, alongside Different Trains and WTC 9/11.
These three leading UK quartets are each known for their insights into contemporary music and their adventurous programming.
They come together to celebrate the 90th birthday of a musician who has influenced generations of fellow composers.
Reich’s iconic Different Trains presented in a special version for large ensemble combines live music with recorded speech and sound. Snatches of conversation and the rhythms of spoken language shape the music, as Reich reflects on his own childhood train journeys in the US alongside the experiences of Holocaust survivors in Europe.
The result is music of striking immediacy, where Reich’s distinctive processes of repetition and variation are harnessed to convey powerful meaning.
In a performance commemorating the 25th anniversary of the strikes on the World Trade Centre, WTC 9/11 uses recordings of voices to create a piece which evokes the attacks as they unfolded and recalls the experiences of people who were in lower Manhattan that day.
