Steve Reich's Different Trains
Reich’s meditation on the Holocaust was first performed in Queen Elizabeth Hall in November 1988. It is revisited here shortly after the reopening of the refurbished building.
The ensemble has also appeared in Southbank Centre’s Meltdown festival and their popular Deep Minimalism weekend.
