Ninety Trips Around the Sun: Terry Riley Piano Works, performed by Sarah Cahill

[Dominique Pelletey]

Saturday May 9, 2026 - 7:30 PM

To mark Terry Riley’s 90th birthday, Sarah Cahill brings together a program spanning five decades of his work, from Keyboard Studies (1964) to Be Kind to One Another (2014).

The evening includes selections from Riley’s piano music—Keyboard Studies, The Walrus in Memoriam, Fandango on the Heaven Ladder, and The Great Beauty—alongside Circle Songs by Danny Clay and Shade Studies by Sam Adams, both written in celebration of Riley’s 80th birthday.

This concert launches our new 88+ series, focused on 20th- and 21st-century piano repertoire, with the series continuing in the fall.

Sarah has worked closely with Riley for decades and has recorded his music (with Regina Myers) on Eighty Trips Around the Sun. She continues to champion contemporary piano music through performance, recording, and long-running projects such as The Future is Female.
