In memory of Michael Tilson Thomas. In this archival video, Tilson Thomas and Steve Reich recall a now-legendary performance of Reich’s "Four Organs" at Carnegie Hall, where audience members all but rioted in the hall.

Today marks 50 years since the world premiere of Music for 18 Musicians by Steve Reich on April 24, 1976, at New York’s Town Hall, performed by Steve Reich and Musicians.

MTT was a great musician and a lifelong friend. He championed my music starting in 1971, when he and I and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed my "Four Organs" in Boston and two years later in Carnegie Hall.

Carnegie Hall salutes Steve Reich at 90 this October with a Birthday Celebration concert on October 22, featuring the US premiere of his new work for large ensemble, "In All Your Ways."

“We’re going to have a tonal center and tap our feet—and that’s the way it is.” Steve Reich reflects on bringing tonality and pulse back into music in a wide-ranging conversation with Tom Service for the February 2026 edition of BBC Music Magazine.

The @nytimes.com list of the Best Classical Albums of 2025 includes the 27-disc box set "Steve Reich Collected Works." David Weininger says, "Behold the grand arc of an American master’s composing career, from the early phase works of the 1960s to some of his newest works."

"The Reich, set to William Carlos Williams’s poetry about the testing and detonation of nuclear weapons, is a thing of contradictions. Melodic and dissonant, percussive and smooth, it consistently pushes minimalism to its max," says @nytimes.com. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/a...
