In-C Concert, Wednesday 3/4 at 7pm

The HWRHS Band is proud to present a performance of In C on Wednesday, March 4th, at 7:00 PM in the Ferrini Dramatics Center.

Composed in 1964 by Terry Riley, In C is a seminal work of minimalist music and one of the most influential compositions of the 20th century. The piece consists of 53 short, repetitive melodic phrases, all written in C major. What makes In C especially unique is that it is a “concert pitch” work; every instrument reads the same notes, allowing performers the freedom to move through the phrases at their own pace.

The result is a mesmerizing, layered soundscape that is at once hypnotic, communal, and subtly improvisational. Each performance is slightly different, shaped by the musicians in the moment, making this a truly dynamic and engaging concert experience.

Join us for an evening of innovative music as our talented high school musicians bring this groundbreaking composition to life. Admission is free.
