GRAZ spielt STEVE REICH

About

Graz marks Steve Reich’s 90th birthday with a 24-hour route through his music, beginning at midnight and moving across churches, civic spaces, theatres and the KUG campus. STUDIO PERCUSSION graz leads a programme that includes tape and electroacoustic landmarks, percussion works, city-scale listening actions and a 23:00 finale by Elektro Guzzi. Many stations are free, while four larger concert blocks require tickets. The day is useful for electronic listeners because it traces phasing, repetition and pulse from early tape pieces to live ensemble reinterpretations, then closes with an Austrian group whose acoustic setup is built around club-informed rhythmic structures.
