Steve Reich in Glasgow: Colin Currie Group, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

The glitch of Saturday addressed, Sunday's programme began with a rescheduled performance of Reich's audience-sampling My Name Is, masterminded by Joby Burgess, later a pivotal player in Currie's ensemble.

It gave Svend Brown the ideal intro to his onstage interview with the composer, the latest of his Unesco City of Music Inspiring Encounters. Given the complexity of the score we were about to hear, it is worth noting quite how lucidly – and frankly – Reich talks about his music, whether responding to Brown or members of the audience in the open session.
