TERRY RILEY w/ GYAN RILEY - Only German show September 27, 2016 | Doors 19:00, Concert 20:00 Zionskirche - Zionskirchplatz 10119 Berlin
FB Event <https://goo.gl/rdvS6D> Tickets <https://goo.gl/w4ncU2> On September 27, acclaimed American minimalist Terry Riley and his son, the guitarist , perform their first and only concert in Berlin this year. Taking place in the resonant space of Zionskirche, the program samples from both the synthesis of minimalism, jazz, ragtime and North Indian raga that have come to define Terry Riley's diverse and prolific career, and Gyan Riley's innovative compositional repertoire. *"Nothing I have done in this life has given me more satisfaction than improvising on these songs with Gyan. Nothing I have done can match the intuitive synchronicity we have shared many times on the stage. Gyan supplies a brilliant counterpoint to the strands and moods of these pieces always surprising me with a virtuosity that serves and energizes his musical invention. I could not have dreamed up a better marriage of mind and spirit than this collaboration*." - Terry Riley Cited as influential to everyone from Steve Reich and Philip Glass to The Who, Terry Riley's polymetric, brightly orchestrated improvisations and compositions set the stage for a new tonality. His early collaborators included Pauline Oliveros, Morton Subotnick, Chet Baker and La Monte Young, and in 1970, he became a student of North Indian classical music, appearing alongside the revered vocalist Pandit Pran Nath. His works have been performed by numerous artists and ensembles, among them John Zorn and the Kronos Quartet, and have received many honors, including a Grammy nomination. Gyan Riley is a virtuosic guitarist working across the spheres of composition, improvisation and contemporary classical music. He has been commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, the Carnegie Hall Corporation and the American Composers Forum, and has performed with the extraordinary tabla player Zakir Hussain, Lou Reed, the San Francisco Symphony and, of course, his father, Terry Riley. This concert is presented curator and promoter Manuela Benetton and Rabih Beaini's Morphine Records. In partnership with The Wire magazine, Spex, Groove.de
