R. Andrew Lee: Dennis Johnson’s November

R. Andrew Lee, one of the foremost interpreters of minimal music, brings Dennis Johnson’s mammoth composition, November, to Chicago for the first time. Clocking in at over four-and-a-half hours, this improvisational work was the inspiration for La Monte Young’s own magnum opus, The Well-Tuned Piano. Lee’s recording of the piece was named the best classical recording of 2013 by Time Out New York, and #15 on the Top 50 Releases (all genres) of 2013 by The Wire Magazine (Kanye West’s Yeezus ranked #11). This is a rare chance to hear one of the greatest and least-known works of early minimalist music.

“Lee has rocketed to prominence in the world of modern and contemporary classical music, thanks to his sterling technique as well as his curator’s attention to pieces in need of greater hearing.” -Pitchfork
