Cherwell concert review:

“It’s a testament to the continuing appeal of minimalism that last week one hundred musicians gathered in the Sheldonian to stage a forty-minute performance of a piece that fits onto a single page of A4. This piece, Terry Riley’s In C, ended the first concert given by the new Oxford Minimalist Ensemble… look out for this ensemble, and a second chance to be mesmerised by their music.”
