Schedule of Events

Thursday, October 26

2:30 p.m.

Seminar:
Composer Terry Riley launched the minimalist movement with his revolutionary classic In C in 1964. Its influence has been heard in the works of prominent composers such as Steve Reich, Philip Glass and John Adams, and in the music of rock groups such as The Who, The Soft Machine, Tangerine Dream, Curved Air and many others. Riley's hypnotic, multi-layered, polymetric, brightly orchestrated eastern-flavored improvisations and compositions set the stage for the New Age movement that was to appear a decade later.
