Steve Reich is a composer born on October 3, 1936 in New York City, USA. He studied composition privately with Hall Overton and later attended Juilliard School to study with William Bergsma and Vincent Persichetti. Reich then pursued his master's degree in composition at Mills College under the guidance of Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud.
Inspired by Terry Riley's minimalist works, Reich began creating his own compositions using simple musical patterns combined in a slowly-shifting manner. His first major work, "It's Gonna Rain..." was written in 1965. Over time, he explored different musical processes such as augmentation to create more intricate pieces.
Reich's mother is June Carroll, a Broadway singer and lyricist.

A live performance of four early works by Steve Reich: "Four Organs", "My Name Is", "Piano Phase", and "Phase Patterns." This performance marked an important moment in San Francisco Bay Area new music history with the triumphant return to the East Bay by Steve Reich, who studied at Mills College with Luciano Berio, and who performed the 1964 world premiere of Terry Riley's seminal work, “In C", at the San Francisco Tape Music Center. The resonant acoustics of the University of California at Berkeley Museum’s concrete interior were especially appropriate for “Four Organs”, with its long additive sustained chords over a maraca pulse. The capacity crowd occupied every conceivable area of the interior space, including walkway ramps suspended over gallery spaces. It was an electrifying evening!
