Sage, iconoclast, cosmic seer, and musical alchemist Terry Riley returns to the Berkeley Art Museum on November 6 after some thirty-five years to start the Friday night “L@TE” series on a high note. The UC Berkeley alumnus, best known for kicking off the minimalist music revolution with his composition In C, has studied Indian classical music with Pandit Pran Nath, explored jazz with Chet Baker, and reinvigorated the string quartet ensemble via his collaborations with the Kronos Quartet.  Along the way, his enormously influential music has inspired three generations of composers across the world and provided the creative spark for rock bands such as Can and the Velvet Underground.

November 6; 9:00 p.m.

$5, free for UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff and BAM/PFA members.

Get tix.
