Concrete Playground

It does not do Philip Glass justice to simply call him accomplished. Since the mid-1960s he has consistently pushed and redeveloped himself, moving from early minimalist experimentation into thoroughly modern renderings of baroque and romantic sounds. This sense of reinvention has seen Glass applauded by both the art music scene and mainstream Hollywood audiences.

An Evening... is the rare gift of hearing some of Glass' latest work played by virtuoso cellist, Wendy Sutter, for whom much of it was written. There is a promise of a strange intimacy here, with the chamber duo matching recent, personal works such as Songs & Poems and Piano Etudes to Glass' earlier compositions for theatre.

Expect a fight for tickets, as this is only an evening, but if you do want more Philip Glass be sure to watch as he performs his score for the film Dracula.
