The concert by Steve Reich & Musicians took place November 7, 1970 at the opening of the University Museum, on the University of California, Berkeley campus. This recorded broadcast is presented by Richard Friedman. This performance marked an important moment in Bay Area new music history with the triumphant return to the East Bay by Reich who studied at Mills with Berio and performed in 1964 in the world premiere of Terry Riley's "in C" at the San Francisco Tape Music Center. The resonant acoustics of the concrete interior museum were especially appropriate for Four Organs, with its long additive sustained chords over a maraca pulse. The capacity crowd occupied every conceivable area of the interior space, including walkway ramps suspended over gallery spaces. An electrifying evening! http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd-nc/1.0/ 1970-11-07 00:00:00 other_minds bernard@otherminds.org 2003-11-20 17:07:33 bernard 1 00:59:32 2004-06-10 17:20:47 bernard All Other Minds programs available, with additional print and photo materials, at http://www.radiOM.org.
