On 19 November members of the Colin Currie Group will lead a Reich Day at Wells Cathedral School’s Cedars Hall as part of the new hall’s opening season programme.

Colin Currie, Adrian Spillett, Owen Gunnell and Sam Walton will join young percussion students from the specialist music school in an in depth exploration of the works of Steve Reich. The morning’s workshops will be followed by a performance that afternoon featuring Clapping Music, Nagoya Marimbas, Music for Pieces of Wood, Mallet Quartet and Drumming Part 1.

The Reich Day will be preceded the previous night by Currie performing a solo recital at Cedars Hall. Currie will perform his new recital programme, launched last June, which includes Elliot Carter Figment V, Mantovani Moi, jeu and Xenakis Rebonds B.
