    About This Event

    Max Richter, a British composer and pianist whose work sits between postminimalism and contemporary classical, brings his measured blend of formal craft and restrained repetition to NJPAC. Trained at the University of Edinburgh and the Royal Academy of Music and a former student of Luciano Berio, Richter frames classical instrumentation with a process‑driven sensibility and writing that favors clarity and atmosphere over display.
