Philip Glass Ensemble: Music In Eight Parts
CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19
The Philip Glass Ensemble will perform Glass’s Music in Eight Parts from 1970, thought to be lost, for the first time in 50 years, along with selections from Koyaanisqatsi, Glassworks, The Photographer, and Einstein on the Beach.
Composed in 1970 shortly before Music in Twelve Parts and Music in Similar Motion, Music in Eight Parts was played that year only at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and was largely forgotten until the manuscript was recently auctioned at Christie’s and subsequently restored by Glass’s music assistant, Alex Ring Gray. The PGE released a new recording of the work on Orange Mountain Music in May 2020.
