Summary
Colin Currie leads the Dunedin Consort Chorus and sound designer Ian Dearden in a Steve Reich programme including The Desert Music at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the hypnotic pulse of American minimalism as Steve Reich’s rhythmic patterns evolve from a single clarinet into a massive orchestral landscape. The evening builds toward a rare performance of his large-scale masterpiece for choir and ensemble, offering a trance-like meditation on the vastness of the desert and human survival.
