Alarm Will Sound

  • Zellerbach Theatre 3680 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)

Alarm Will Sound returns to The Clarice to play the Pulitzer Prize winner’s Music for 18 Musicians, one of the most influential minimalist works of all time. With Erin Lesser performs Vermont Counterpoint.

Steve Reich has been called “the most original musical thinker of our time” (The New Yorker) and “among the great composers of the century” (The New York Times). Starting in the 1960s, his pieces It’s Gonna Rain, Drumming, Music for 18 Musicians, Tehillim, Different Trains and many others helped shift the aesthetic center of musical composition worldwide away from extreme complexity and towards rethinking pulsation and tonal attraction in new ways.
