About this event

The after-hours late-night atmosphere is a fitting backdrop to the pulsing rhythmic repetitions of Minimalism鈥檚 founding father, Steve Reich. Relive the experimentation of It鈥檚 Gonna Rain 鈥� the tape piece that first put Reich on the map back in 1965 鈥� its hypnotic layers of spoken sound transforming a street preacher into a strange, disembodied instrument.

The Desert Music twitches and throbs with life, offering a meditation on fragments of William Carlos Williams鈥檚 poetry. The 麻豆官网首页入口 Singers are joined by contemporary specialists the Endymion ensemble.

There will be no interval
