REICH: Runner (US premiere, Cal Performances co-commission), Double
Sextet, You Are (Variations) What better way to celebrate Steve
Reich's 80th birthday than with a Cal Performances co-commission and
US premiere? Reich, "the most original music thinker of our time" (The
New Yorker), premieres his new Runner, performed by Ensemble Signal,
which won rave reviews and a Diapason d'Or for its recording of the
composer's Music for 18 Musicians. The program also includes Reich's
Pulitzer Prize-winning Double Sextet, and You Are (Variations), with
texts drawn from Jewish mysticism and German philosophy.
