Terry Riley with Gyan Riley: Live at 85! at Sanders Theatre

About

Terry Riley turns 85 on June 24, 2020, and celebratory performances have already begun. This larger-than-life character created an unconventional minimalist musical style that inspired many: Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Brian Eno, John Cale, Pete Townshend, and many more. Terry Riley: Live at 85! features Terry Riley, accompanied by his son Gyan, presenting key pieces that define his work with elements of minimalism, jazz, ragtime, and Indian raga.
