In October 2026, he will be turning 90, so we are throwing a festival in his honour at The Glasshouse - International Centre for Music on the banks of the River Tyne. The building comes alive with the music of a pioneer who reshaped sound for six decades.
The celebration starts with a Sage One concert featuring some of Reich's best-known pieces: Clapping Music, Runner, Double Sextet and The Desert Music.
Pulsing. Hypnotic. Music that grabs hold.

Colin Currie steps up as conductor, bringing together members of his own Colin Currie Group with Royal Northern Sinfonia to kick off the Steve Reich at 90 festival.
What they are playing:
Percussion meets piano in a night dedicated to Steve Reich, a master of rhythm and repetition.
The birthday celebrations start with some of his best-known pieces, including a performance by Colin Currie and Royal Northern Sinfonia’s Jude Carlton of Clapping Music. You will also hear the driving energy of Runner, the interlocking lines of Double Sextet and the sweep of The Desert Music, with sound that is raw, intricate and relentless.
