‘Good music is good music, and most music is not!’ As he hits 90, master minimalist Steve Reich looks back

‘Good music is good music, and most music is not!’ As he hits 90, master minimalist Steve Reich looks back

At 14, he heard Stravinsky and resolved to be a composer. As Reich approaches his 10th decade, the man revered by the likes of David Bowie reflects on a life that changed the soundtrack of modern living Steve Reich is not yet 90 but the celebrations have already begun, with the world premiere of his new piece for large ensemble, In All Your Ways , at the Edinburgh festival last month and a late-night concert at the BBC Proms . But when I ask this most supremely influential of living composers how he feels about becoming a nonagenarian on 3 October, Reich is coy. “I haven’t quite got there yet,” he says. “I don’t want to dot the i before I even get there. I’ll let you know in due course …” Born in New York in 1936, Reich has spent the last six decades producing music that has changed the soundtrack of modern life in Europe and North America, and inspired superlatives from a wide array of music critics. The New Yorker has called him “the most original musical thinker of our time”. Continue reading...

easyJet launching fifth new Ljubljana service

easyJet launching fifth new Ljubljana service

easyJet will restore flights between Berlin and Ljubljana during the 2027 summer season following a seven year hiatus. Services will commence on April 7 and operate twice per week, on Wednesdays and Sundays, with the Airbus A320 aircraft. The low cost carrier will face no direct competition on the route. Tickets are now available for purchase through the airline’s website. Further flight details can be found here . easyJet previously maintained flights between the two capitals from August 2018. The airline initially operated three weekly services between Berlin Tegel and Ljubljana. Operations were disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, after which the carrier discontinued the route. The new service forms part of easyJet’s renewed expansion in the Slovenian capital. The airline launched flights from Manchester in November 2025, followed by the introduction of services from Edinburgh in April this year. A new three weekly operation from London Luton will commence on October 26, complementing its longstanding flights from London Gatwick. With the addition of Berlin, easyJet will serve five destinations from Ljubljana during the 2027 summer season: Berlin, Edinburgh, London Gatwick, London Luton and Manchester. easyJet is also in the process of acquiring Ljubljana-based aircraft maintenance provider Adria Tehnika from Czech investment fund Hartenberg Holding. The agreement was announced in December 2025, with the airline planning to bring more of its heavy maintenance operations in-house. easyJet has worked with Adria Tehnika for almost a decade, during which the Slovenian company has performed more than 200 heavy maintenance checks on its Airbus aircraft. Slovenia’s Competition Protection Agency approved the acquisition in February. However, its completion was delayed after the Kranj District Court temporarily prevented Hartenberg from disposing of its stake amid a dispute with a former minority shareholder over how the investment fund obtained full ownership of the maintenance provider The Berlin announcement comes as the Slovenian government evaluates applications submitted under its latest tender aimed at improving the country’s air connectivity. Four bids were received by the August 31 deadline during the second round of the tenth public call. The identities of the applicants and their proposed routes have not been disclosed, while no official results have been announced. EX-YU Aviation News

It’s going to be a blast: why 100 tubas are heading for a garden in Haddington

It’s going to be a blast: why 100 tubas are heading for a garden in Haddington

Faced with a new concert venue – a vast and beautiful walled garden – John Harris and the Lammermuir festival had to decide how to fill it with sound. Anthony Braxton’s colossal composition was the irresistible solution. Working in contemporary music, I am used to eyebrows being raised by friends and family when I answer their seemingly innocent dinnertime question, “What are you up to at the moment?”. My responses over the years have ranged from “staging an opera about alien abduction underneath Concorde ” to “ensuring that a soprano can get a tattoo live on stage while she sings”. However, I’ve never previously experienced anything like the familial spluttering in response to my most recent answer – “putting on a concert with 100 tuba players in a garden outside Edinburgh”. I do understand some of their surprise, but to be honest 100 tubas seemed like such a logical solution to the problem I was given that I’m not sure I understand it entirely! James Waters, artistic director of the Lammermuir festival in East Lothian, Scotland – and regular partner-in-crime for some of Red Note Ensemble’s wilder productions, including the aforementioned opera under Concorde – phoned me one day last year to say “I have found an interesting – and very beautiful – place to put on a concert. I just don’t have a clue what music to do. Come and have a look!” Continue reading...

Ally Van Tillo obituary

Ally Van Tillo obituary

The activist Ally Van Tillo, who has died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease aged 67, was the founder of the UK Aids Memorial Quilt . It is part of the world’s largest community art project, originating in the US and with chapters around the world, and consists of quilted panels made by friends, partners, family members or colleagues of those who died of Aids-related illness. The Quilt is for commemoration and activism, and against stigma and homophobia. Ally was born in Gourock, a seaside town in Renfrewshire; adopted as a baby by Elizabeth Taylor, a pianist, and John Hume, an electrical engineer, he was named Alastair Hume. His first years were spent in Gourock, growing up with his younger sister, Vivienne, before the family moved to Edinburgh, where Ally went to George Heriot’s school. He was brought up to be whoever he wanted to be, and, when he was 13, his mother helped him come out. Continue reading...

Scottish Ballet: Emergence review – riveting visions of gods and insects

Scottish Ballet: Emergence review – riveting visions of gods and insects

Theatre Royal, Glasgow The premiere of Julia Cheng’s Entress and a bold return for Crystal Pite’s Emergence both explore collective power It is a significant moment for a choreographer to create work for a large ballet company for the first time. This is the thread that joins these two Scottish Ballet performances: the world premiere of Entress by Julia Cheng and a restaging of Crystal Pite’s Emergence, choreographed for the National Ballet of Canada in 2009 and first performed by Scottish Ballet at the Edinburgh international festival in 2016 . Coming from a varied dance background that includes hip-hop and waacking , Cheng received Olivier nominations for her choreography for Cabaret and Fiddler on the Roof. She brings an assured patience to the myth-like Entress (from an old Scottish word meaning “right to enter”); scenes exploring groupthink, purging and transformation are allowed time to develop.
