Reverberations – May 2011 (Steve Reich, Bryce Dessner, Owen Pallett Kronos Quartet, Tyondai Braxton, Max Richter & more)

Summary: 'One of a handful of living composers who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history' (The Guardian), Steve Reich has been an influence for generations of musicians since the 1970s, and up to today's musical landscape - where the boundaries between rock and classical seem to have disappeared progressively. The Barbican celebrates this influence with six unique concerts on Sat 7 & Sun 8 May in London, featuring groundbreaking collaborations, four Reich premieres and new music.
