SUMMARY:Purcell ReWrite: Reich@90 Concert
DESCRIPTION:In Autumn 2026\, The Purcell School will mark Steve Reich’s 90th birthday with a term-long celebration exploring one of the most influential musical voices of the past century. Taking place in parallel with wider international celebrations of Reich’s work\, the project will bring together performance\, composition\, production\, songwriting\, jazz and commercial students through the school’s Centre for Creative Practice. Across the term\, students will engage with Reich’s distinctive musical language through workshops\, lectures\, seminars\, and collaborative creative projects. \nThe project will culminate in a mini-series of concerts and events presenting key works by Reich alongside a series of world premieres by Purcell students & staff responding to his output. Repertoire will include works such as Radio Rewrite\, Quartet\, Nagoya Marimbas\, Electric Counterpoint and Clapping Music\, with student responses ranging from chamber and percussion works to electronic pieces\, collaborative rewritings\, and online releases. The project will also acknowledge Reich’s dialogue with popular music through performances of Radiohead songs connected to Radio Rewrite\, creating a broad\, interdisciplinary celebration of influence\, reinterpretation\, and new creative work. \nThe concert is free to attend\, no booking necessary.
