About

Short or long pieces, lively or meditative… From New York to London illustrates how the American minimal music school has proven to be a major actor over a large artistic spectrum.

A prelude introduces excerpts from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story specially arranged for percussion and vocals, followed by the works of Steve Reich, John Cage and Morton Feldman.

Two contemporary English composers, strongly influenced by the minimalist school complete this program. Graham Fitkin offers a virtuosic piece with magnetic rhythms for the Percussion Claviers de Lyon as well as an original work for voice and percussion.

Gavin Bryars, who has studied with Cage and Feldman, signs a piece designed for a vocal ensemble and percussion, inspired by the works of French writer Frédéric Mistral.
