Summary
Toby Kearney leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in a programme of Steve Reich, Julius Eastman and Midori Takada at the CBSO Centre.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the hypnotic pulse of minimalism through one of its most famous calling cards, the intricately patterned Clapping Music. This hour-long programme strips the orchestra back to its rhythmic core, offering a rare chance to hear Steve Reich’s shimmering, mechanical textures alongside the meditative stillness of Julius Eastman.
