Under the direction of Ian Ding, with assistance from co-directors Joseph Gramley and Jonathan Ovalle, the University of Michigan Percussion Ensemble presents STEVE REICH: A 75th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. This exciting concert will feature some of Reich\&##39;s most seminal works, including the incomparable "Drumming, Part 1," and 2009\&##39;s "Mallet Quartet." The Ensemble will also perform Reich\&##39;s "Clapping Music," as well as "Nagoya Marimbas" and "Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ." In addition to Reich\&##39;s own compositions, the evening will showcase two recent works, by other composers, that have been inspired by Reich\&##39;s career: WILCO drummer Glenn Kotche\&##39;s "Clapping Music Variations" and "Music for Pieces of Wood for Drums," by Bang on a Can\&##39;s David Cossin.
