Patrons who have tickets for the 7:30PM presentation of Philip Glass Ensemble must also register for the Pre-Show Talk if they wish to attend.
Please join us for an engaging FREE pre-show talk featuring Dr. Huck Hodge, an acclaimed composer and professor at the University of Washington, in conversation with members of the Philip Glass Ensemble. This 45-minute discussion will offer a deep dive into the work of Philip Glass, a pioneering figure of minimalism, and explore the intricate textures and emotional landscapes of Philip Glass’s compositions.
Dr. Hodge will be joined by ECA’s presented evening artists’ Michael Riesman, long-time musical director of the Phillip Glass Ensemble, to discuss their experiences working with Philip Glass, the history and evolution of the Ensemble, and their life on the road. Together, they will provide insight into the featured compositions of the evening, exploring the Ensemble’s practice methods and the artistic collaboration that has shaped Glass’s revolutionary body of work.
This intimate conversation promises to deepen your understanding of contemporary music and Glass’s enduring impact on the world of minimalism and is the perfect precursor to our evening presentation of the Philip Glass Ensemble at 7:30PM.
