About this show

What Makes It Great? John Adamss "Shaker Loops" plays Merkin Hall (Kaufman Music Center), a 450-capacity small room in Lincoln Center, on Monday, February 22. The show starts at 7:30 PM.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT? Featuring Terra String Quartet Host Rob Kapilow takes you back to the heady days of early minimalism, when composers like Steve Reich and Philip Glass were rejecting the abstract and often inaccessible music of the previous generation and re-shaping the sound of the era. John Adamss hugely successful 1978 piece Shaker Loops took minimalism in a vibrant new direction by widening its dramatic range and making it visceral and emotionally expressive. The piece feels urgent, alive even ecstatic. Hear the work in Adamss rarely-performed, original arrangement for septet!
