Adam Tendler

Terry Riley’s 1964 magnum opus In C is one of the twentieth century’s most radically influential works of music. Its 53 short melodies are designed for open-ended creative interpretation. Led by composers Nick Hallett and Zach Layton, the NYC In C, described as “the most vital, audacious and energizing performance… ever heard” by The New York Times, is a longstanding annual tradition that reflects our city's diversity, strength, and joy. Now in its 20th year, Lincoln Center presents the group’s largest concert, including vocalists, percussionists, guitarists, a full orchestra, electronics, and instrumentalists from around the world, backed by the drum beat of Brian Chase from Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The lineup (subject to change) also includes Ava Mendoza, Matana Roberts, Qasim Naqvi, Zoh Amba, Gelsey Bell, Angélica Negrón, Kaoru Watanabe, Aba Diop, and Adam Tendler. More names to come!
