All musicians in the Kenyon community are invited to participate in a performance of Terry Riley's 1964 minimalist composition, "In C." Anyone who can read sheet music is invited to participate, and there will be several, not mandatory, rehearsals.
"In C" is made up of 53 short melodic fragments that guide the musicians in collective improvisation. It changes every time it is played. It's strikingly hypnotic and stunningly beautiful.
