Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of a Minimalist Masterpiece

In their inaugural collaboration, Loop38 and Aperio present Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, celebrating the 50th anniversary of its groundbreaking 1976 premiere.

Its 1978 recording was a commercial and cultural breakthrough, propelling minimalism beyond the New York scene and to listeners around the world. 

Fifty years later, the work remains vital and visionary. This performance offers a rare opportunity to experience Music for 18 Musicians live in Houston. Join us in honoring a masterpiece that continues to shape the sound of contemporary music today.Read more
