Steve Reich, Glenn Kotche Perform at Alice Tully Hall Opening Festival Tonight
Steve Reich, Glenn Kotche and Bang on a Can All-Stars, and Alarm Will Sound help celebrate the opening of Lincoln Center's spectacularly revamped Alice Tully Hall Starr Theater with a fitting marathon evening of performances titled New York, New Music, New Hall tonight, beginning at 7 PM. It's part of the Center's special two-week Opening Nights Festival to inaugurate the new space.
Alarm Will Sound, led by artistic director Alan Pierson, opens the program with Derek Bermel's Three Rivers, followed by the New York premiere of Oscar Bianchi's Mezzogiorno and the world premiere of a new piece, commissioned by Lincoln Center and composed by ensemble member Caleb Burhans.
Next up are Bang on a Can All-Stars with special guest Glenn Kotche in a set that includes the New York premieres of works by Michael Gordon and David Lang, as well as Kotche's Mobile, off his 2006 Nonesuch debut solo album of the same name.
Finally, Steve Reich & Musicians will be joined by Synergy Vocals to perform Reich's complete 1974–76 masterwork, Music for 18 Musicians.
This entire performance is scheduled to run just over three hours, including two intermissions. There will also be a pre-concert performance by ETHEL in the Hall's outer lobby, beginning at 5:30 PM. For more information, visit lincolncenter.org.
