Colin Currie & Asko|Schönberg
REICH/RICHTER
This unique collaboration between Steve Reich and visual artist Gerhard Richter was premiered in spring 2019 to mark the opening of New York’s iconic THE SHED. It proved to be one of the highlights of the New York season. Together with filmmaker Corinna Belz the artists dovetailed Richter’s and Belz’s pixels with Reich’s rhythms and pulse in an almost mathematically precise match in sound and vision. Together with Asko|Schoenberg, percussionist and conductor Colin Currie and the designer Theun Mosk, we shall re-stage Reich/Richter - with the addition of other Reich pieces and a solo performed by Currie - in a specially designed, immersive open space for musicians, film and audience.
Dessner - Tromp Miniature
Reich - Four Organs

Colin Currie: “I conducted this piece with the Britten Sinfonia in London, with Corinna Belz’s film, and it’s true to say that it was one of the highlights of my career. I have such a special relationship with this composer and his music, and the film was an inspiring addition to the notes, for both players and audience.”
