Reich Glass

Contemporary composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass have announced that they’ll perform together for the first time in over 30 years, as the kickoff event for “Nonesuch Records at BAM”, the label’s 50th anniversary going down this September.

“Nonesuch Records at BAM” also includes an event with Devendra Banhart, Stephin Merritt (who’s involved in another BAM event happening sooner), and Iron & Wine; one with Natalie Merchant and Sam Amidon; another with Laurie Anderson and Kronos Quartet; two nights of Robert Plant and more. Full schedule below.

Members can get early access to tickets starting May 21, and they’ll become available to the general public BAM’s site on May 28.

The Steve Reich/Philip Glass event is also part of the 2014 Next Wave Festival. Still not many details on that, but we do know Bryce Dessner and Brooklyn Youth Chorus are performing. Members can get tickets to Next Wave starting June 16, and the general public starting June 23.
