"Meet Bridget Riley - First Steps on a Creative Journey"
In the company of Bridget Riley's early portraits, we explore musical journeys taken by composers. To quote Bridget Riley, 'To begin at the beginning - that would surely be the best start of all.' Following this idea, we illustrate the first steps of our creative journey with Bach at the beginning, who inspired our featured composers including Arvo Part, Stravinsky, Ravel, and Philip Glass.
