A landmark of minimalism, _Music for 18 Musicians_ (1976) by Steve Reich unfolds as a constantly shifting sonic landscape, built on repeating patterns and harmonies that rise and fall like waves. Cherished by fans of electronic music as much as by classical audiences, this timeless work reveals its full power in a live performance by Eklekto, a Geneva-based collective dedicated to contemporary percussion, alongside Ensemble Contrechamps, renowned for its focus on 20th- and 21st-century repertoire. An intense, immersive listening experience, where rhythm and harmony interweave in a continuous, mesmerising flow.
