Programme

Overview

Experience the LSO Percussion Ensemble bring Steve Reich’s minimalist rhythms to life in a night of pulsating beats and hypnotic grooves. Dive into interlocking patterns and vibrant percussive colors for an unforgettable sonic journey.In an intimate evening of pure rhythm, six virtuoso percussionists of the LSO Percussion Ensemble conjure the elemental power of Steve Reich’s minimalist masterpieces. The journey begins with the crystalline interplays of Music for Pieces of Wood, as claves and wooden blocks weave a delicate tapestry of sound. Drumming follows, unleashing a kaleidoscopic surge of marimbas, tambourines, and temple blocks—rolling mallets and resonant drums melding into a vibrant mosaic of pulses. The finale arrives in Clapping Music, where bare hands lock into an entrancing phased pattern, shifting with hypnotic precision. Under sculpted lighting and enveloping acoustics, each strike and clap reverberates with ritualistic intensity, inviting you to lose yourself in the ever-evolving groove.
