An Evening of Solo Piano provides a glimpse into the intricacies of Glass' work in its most elemental form, featuring pieces from his most recent Etudes for piano as well as classics within the Glass repertoire An intimate and unique look at a visionary at work, this evening is a fond re-acquaintance for Glass fans and a perfect introduction for new audiences.
About the Artist
The most powerful composer of our time...what Glass is doing is changing the face of music for our time and all time. - The Daily Telegraph
Philip Glass is an extraordinary composer whose elegiac music forms a kind of immersive tapestry of sound. Sometimes referred to as minimalist, Glass prefers to speak of "music with repetitive structures." His impact upon the musical and intellectual life of our times is characterized by the exceptionally rich variety of his work. In the past 25 years, Glass has composed more than twenty operas, eight symphonies, several concertos, and soundtracks to films ranging from new scores for the stylized classics of Jean Cocteau to Errol Morris documentaries, string quartets, and a growing body of work for solo piano and organ. He has also collaborated with a wide range of artists including Twyla Tharp, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen, Linda Ronstadt, Doris Lessing and David Bowie, among others. More info about Philip Glass
Running Time: 70 minutes (no intermission)
Waitlist Procedure
Box office will begin a waitlist one hour before the program begins. At that time, numbers are given out to patrons on a first-come, first-served basis, one number per patron per ticket. As tickets become available, box office staff will call out waitlist numbers in the order they are given out. Patrons must be present to take a number. As staff cannot predict when or if tickets will become available, it is important for those on the waitlist to remain within hearing distance. If a number is called and no one responds, box office staff will dismiss the number called and call the next number. Cash is preferred for waitlist transactions. Thank you for your cooperation and interest in this event.
