Augsburg Music Student & Faculty to perform Terry Riley’s minimalist classic In C :
Performance in Sateren Auditorium)

Terry Riley’s minimalist classic In C evolves slowly, with subtle changes in rhythm, harmony, and texture over the duration of the piece. A listener may initially perceive the music as static, but the shifts become apparent and impactful over time. Likewise, climate change operates on a long timescale, with gradual shifts in temperature, sea levels, and weather patterns. We invite listeners to contemplate the powerful accumulation of small changes as they listen to this performance (renamed In “Sea” for this performance), accompanied by images of the Great Lakes and graphics documenting the impact of climate change on our region.
