Steve Reich in conversation with Limelight and Canberra International Music Festival artistic director Roland Peelman ahead of the concert "American Modern" on 4th May. I'm really excited to play Electric Counterpoint at that concert, particularly because it will be programmed alongside Different Trains - like in the '89 Nonesuch Records recording by Pat Metheny and Kronos Quartet.

What a treat!

Paywall to the entire article unfortunately but 2 quid for a month is alright if one is interested.

I'm bringing a programme including some of my favourite music, loosely united by repetition and cyclicality but extending to themes of immigration, nature and nurturing the infinite within.

Completely buzzing with excitement and I can't wait to see all my friends down under! 🤙

Further details and tickets can be found through my website.

See you there! 🥳

📷 So grateful for the chance to be captured by an artist like James Barrett

Thank you 🙏

There is only one time you play at Wigmore Hall for the first time... I will need the rest of the week to process what happened last night but thank you so much to all my friends, family and audience members who came out to hear my Wigmore debut last night. You made such an amazing atmosphere! The sound in that space is magical and unlike anything I've experienced before, it was so inspiring.

Eternally grateful to John Williams and the Julian Bream Trust for this opportunity, and my musical friend, the genius Milton Mermikides for playing his part absolutely beautifully - it was such a massive joy to blast Electric Counterpoint out into this amazing acoustic, and apparently I was grinning.

Such a fun day, one of the best in my life.

Follow the white rabbit.
