A tribute to the American composer, a leading figure of the minimalist movement and repetitive music Teachers from the CapAtlantique La Baule-Guérande Agglo, Saint-Nazaire and La Roche-sur-Yon conservatoires are joining forces to mark the American composer’s 90th birthday. Steve Reich revolutionised music in the 1960s alongside Terry Riley and Philip Glass. Their minimalist and repetitive works have inspired many composers, choreographers, filmmakers, and electronic and techno musicians. ‘Sextet’ (1984–1985) is renowned for its energy, its irresistible rhythmic drive, its abrupt metrical shifts and its tightly woven contrapuntal texture, representing a high point in Steve Reich’s chamber music for percussion and piano.
