The 22nd Annual NYC in C - Live at LPR on Wednesday, June 24th, 2026
7:00 PM doors | 8:00 PM show
Terry Riley’s 1964 Minimalist Masterpiece is once again heard at LPR in a celebrated rendition.
Emerging from the legendary Darmstadt concert series, this yearly performance of Terry Riley’s In C—ongoing since 2005—has become a New York City tradition. At once completely faithful to Riley’s original score, and yet “the most vital, audacious and energizing...ever heard” (New York Times), curator-musicians Nick Hallett and Zach Layton have assembled a distinguished group to improvise with Riley’s identifiable, interlocking melodic patterns. Guitarists, electronic musicians, orchestral instrumentalists, and a bevy of voices strut in step to the propulsive backbeat of a single drummer.
Unprecedented in design, Terry Riley’s In C, made a radical impact on contemporary music at its 1964 premiere, influencing a generation of composers and paving the way for Minimalism. Its performers are tasked with repeating 53 short melodies through endless combinations, resulting in a hypnotic tapestry of sound. No two performances are the same. New York City’s longest-running annual performance gives audiences a chance to revel in Riley’s riotous cacophony.
Featuring Qasim Naqvi, drums; Anna Abondolo, bass; Grey McMurray, guitar; David Grubbs, guitar; Zach Layton, 17-string bass; Modney, violin; Jessica Pavone, viola; Lester St. Louis, cello; Stuart Bogie, clarinet; Samantha Kocis, flute; Rebekah Fawn Heller, bassoon; Matana Roberts, saxophone; Ingrid Laubrock, saxophone; Chris Williams, trumpet; Chris Mcintyre, trombone; Seth Cluett, electronics; Levi Lu, electronics; Luisa Muhr, voice; Megan Schubert, voice; Sonia Megias, voice; Nick Hallett, voice; David Nagler, voice; Phyllis Chen, piano; Zeena Parkins, accordion; and more. Lineup subject to change.
Proceeds from this concert to benefit Darmstadt NY, Classics of the Avant Garde.
