Terry Riley's _In C_

On Saturday, October 19th, 8:00pm at Ceremony Hall 13 local musicians will

perform Terry Riley's 1964 composition "In C" and new works by local

composers.

"In C" is realized through the collective interpretation of interlocking

repetitive patterns moving through gradual changes. This premiere

minimalist work has been an inspiration to many composers such as Steve

Reich, Philip Glass and John Adams.

Riley's hypnotic masterpiece will be presented alongside new works by

composer-performers James Alexander, Brent Fariss, Derrick Fore, Jacob

Green, Sarah Norris, Bill Thompson and Travis Weller. These chamber works

will be performed by smaller groups taken from the large ensemble.

The performers include James Alexander, viola; Scott Biggs, bassoon; Brent

Fariss, contrabass; Derrick Fore, bass clarinet; Jacob Green, oboe; Kirk

Laktas, piano; Keith Manlove, bassoon; Sarah Norris, vibraphone; Callie

Shelton, flute; Nick Smith, trombone; Bill Thompson, guitar; Travis Weller,

violin; and Brandon Young, accordion. The group includes many collaborators

and members of ensembles in the Austin music community such as Cinders, the

Imbroglio String Quartet, Golden Arm Trio, and The Gates Ensemble.
