A specially-chosen ensemble of players from Bang on a Can visit Caramoor for a celebration of legendary composer Terry Riley’s 90th birthday with a dynamic spatial-specific performance of Riley’s minimalist classic In C, a magical music adventure designed for the grounds of Caramoor. This landmark piece, written in 1964, kicked off a revolution and introduced the musical style now known as Minimalism to a mainstream audience. The piece inspired many classical composers including Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and John Adams, as well as those in the rock world, such as John Cale and Brian Eno.
This is a FREE performance.
3:00pm / Pre-concert conversation with members of Bang on a Can.
