Steve Reich: Jacob’s Ladder

This birthday week for Steve Reich also brings his latest world premiere. I had the honor of writing the program note for Jacob’s Ladder. The New York Philharmonic and Synergy Vocals will perform the new work at this week’s concerts, which also include Leif Ove Andsnes in Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto and Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony. (Notes can be accessed via link next to program listing here.)
