Steve Reich's Drumming

Sat 20 Feb 7:30pm at Town Hall

Colin Currie

Steve Reich’s Drumming is one of the iconic masterpieces of the last fifty years. Inspired by Reich’s studies in Ghana with master drummer Gideon Alorwoyie, it is a transcendent and dramatic tapestry of pounding bongo drums, mesmerising marimbas, glassy glockenspiels and women’s voices, with an irresistible sense of momentum. Colin Currie’s performances have led a new generation to rediscover this staggering masterwork.

Choir Benches not available.
