About this Performance
A celebration of the mystic minimalist’s 90th birthday, featuring performances of his iconic pieces: the elemental Keyboard Study No. 2, In C (called “musical democracy at its highest level” by the Library of Congress) and A Rainbow in Curved Air, the latter in a new transcription by Terry’s son and frequent performance partner Gyan Riley. Along with Gyan, Bang on a Can All-Stars and a host of special guests will conjure some of the greatest music of the 20th century under a full moon—aligning with Terry’s cosmic outlook in the most auspicious way.

This program is a collaboration with the initiative, generously supported by Linda and David Shaheen.
