Sonic Escapes

David Bowie once described Music for 18 Musicians as "Balinese gamelan music cross-dressing as minimalism", and included the work, by American percussionist and composer, Steve Reich, in his top 25 albums. If it's good enough for DB, it's definitely good enough for us. And you can hear the iconic piece, together with a more of Reich's minimalist sonic escapes, performed by London Sinfionetta, who are at Symphony Hall for the first time in six years. On Feb 13, tickets are from £12.50. And if you're pretty confident about your timing, you may want to have a go at the brilliantly maddening (and free) rhythm improving app Reich's developed. If you make it past the "easy" setting, we salute you.
