Summary
Colin Currie conducts the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra at Sage Gateshead in an all-Reich programme featuring Bryce Dessner as soloist for Electric Counterpoint and The Four Sections.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the shifting, hypnotic pulse of minimalist pioneer Steve Reich as he celebrates nine decades of rhythmic innovation. From the layered shimmer of the electric guitar to large-scale orchestral patterns, these interlocking cycles create a trance-like atmosphere that feels entirely different from a standard classical concert.
