Alongside iconic works by Reich, the quartet present Anna Meredith's Bumps per Minute, a full throttle reinvention of traditional fairground dodgems from the Mercury Award shortlisted composer. No doubt that this will be a fun-filled wild ride. Bring the whole family for what promises to be an inspiring and exciting concert in the creative and relaxed Ashburton Arts Centre.
