Colin Currie Group was founded by its namesake to celebrate and showcase the music of Steve Reich, and in its 15-year history has developed a close collaborative relationship with the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer. Currie has assembled an ensemble of percussion, strings, keyboards, and winds, augmented by Synergy Vocals, to perform Reich’s music—from his works of the 1970s and 1980s to brand-new commissions. At Cal Performances, the group celebrates Reich’s 86th birthday, performing his Music for 18 Musicians and his classic Tehillim, the first work in which he explored his Jewish heritage. A Cal Performances co-commission, Traveler’s Prayer is a setting of three Old Testament texts.
