​

​Terry Riley’s “In C” is a groundbreaking work that ignited the minimalist movement in 20th century contemporary music.

​

The score is one page, featuring 53 small cells of music that are to be repeated ad lib. by any number of performers on any combination instruments. The result is a multi-layered, constantly evolving, meditative performance that can never be experienced the same way twice.

​

This will give you the vibe. Our performance will last 10-ish minutes.
