In C, The Artistic Motif of the Project

  • In C is a musical piece composed by Terry Riley in 1964.
  • In C is one of the first minimalist compositions and a foundational work of American repetitive music.
  • In C is a free and flexible collective musical work with a unique compositional structure that has been described as “the global village’s first ritual symphonic piece.”
  • In C is the cornerstone of the workshops and exchange programs for the young musicians and the closing event will feature a collective public performance of the work.
