L@TE @BAM/PFA with Terry Riley

Melding visual art and performance in new ways, the programs on this schedule are primarily inspired by themes explored in BAM/PFA’s fall exhibitions, including  and .

In what has become an annual tradition for L@TE, legendary pianist-composer Terry Riley returns to the series he helped launch in an inaugural performance in November 2009 for a highly anticipated solo concert on piano and synthesizer. Best known as the godfather of minimalist music, Riley’s performances encompass North Indian classical music, American jazz, and a particular strain of musical experimentalism that is uniquely Californian. His enormously influential music has inspired three generations of composers around the world and provided the creative spark for rock bands such as Can and the Velvet Underground.

We encourage patrons to bring pillows or blankets to stretch out on the gallery floor and on BAMscape to enjoy the reverberations.
