Steve
Reich Project
For our fall 2006 concert we performed Steve Reich's masterpiece Music for 18 Musicians, in honor of the composer's seventieth birthday. Not only was that performance successful, but has led to many other opportunities for the ensemble. Look below for various links concerning our work.

CD Recording
During January we were consumed with recording the work. On a whim I sent our concert tape of last semester to Innova Recordings They were thoroughly impressed and wanted us to re-record for a 2007 release. This will only be the fifth commercial recording of the work, and the FIRST in 5.1 surround. All-star engineer Silas Brown flew in from New York to handle the sessions. We recorded over three long, grueling days in beautiful Royce Auditorium of St. Cecelia's Music Society in Grand Rapids, MI.
