American composer Terry Riley is best known as one of the founders of minimalism. His first successful composition, In C , had a significant effect on artists like Philip Glass and Steve Reich who went on to popularize the minimalistic techniques Riley introduced in his work. In the 70s and early 80s, Riley gained attention for his solo concerts in which he performed extended improvisations for keyboard and voice. During this time, he was heavily influenced by classical Indian music, which he studied in–depth under the tutelage of the legendary vocalist Pandit Pran Nath. In recent years, Riley has fulfilled commissions for internationally recognized symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles. His work for string quartet, Salome Dances For Peace, performed by the Kronos Quartet has received accolades worldwide.
