A New Phase


“The Legacy of Steve Reich, Arguably America’s Most Important Living Composer” – title of an article by Michael Tilson Thomas in Vanity Fair (14 July 2016)


Steve Reich, who was once an outsider,

A provocative force, a divider,

Is now, in old age,

An establishment sage

Whose influence couldn’t be wider.
