For Steve Reich, it was “music as gradual process.” For Philip Glass, it was “music with repetitive structures.” For everyone else, it was minimalism, and no two American composers have been as crucial to the style’s development as these two Promethean figures with rich histories at BAM and on Nonesuch Records. Yet despite their musical affinities, Glass and Reich have pursued notably different career paths and—remarkably—haven’t shared the stage in over 30 years.
Now, for the first time in over 30 years, they reunite, joining their respective ensembles, as well as Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, Synergy Vocals, and others for a three-program retrospective of their inestimable collective legacy
