UK Premiere of Gavin Bryars's The Other Side of the River

UK Premiere of Gavin Bryars's <em>The Other Side of the River</em>

On September 21, Third Coast Percussion presents the UK Premiere of Gavin Bryars' percussion quartet, The Other Side of the River (2015) at the Barbican. Bryars notes:

"The Other Side of the River is a quiet, reflective piece and was written as part of a theatre work called ‘See You Later’ by Theatre Cryptic (for whom I also wrote The Paper Nautilus). This title is taken from a line by the late Eduardo Galeano: ‘History never really says goodbye. History says, “See you later”.’ The theatre work includes percussion pieces by composers Peter Garland and David T. Little and mine forms a meditative and philosophical epilogue to the whole piece."
