Third Coast Percussion, Ripples in the Water: Philip Glass at 90

FEB 18 7:30 PM

MODLIN ARTS PRESENTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Pre-Concert Artist Talk at 6:30 p.m. moderated by VPM Music Classical Host Mike Goldberg

Third Coast Percussion creates exciting and unexpected performances that “push percussion in new directions, blurring musical boundaries and beguiling new listeners” (NPR). The ensemble returns to the Modlin Center for a program honoring the tremendous impact of composer Philip Glass on contemporary music.

As Glass turns 90 in 2027, his unmistakable influence resonates across a vast spectrum of contemporary music creators also included on this program: electronic music producer Jlin, pop polymath Devonté Hynes, TCP’s own David Skidmore, and minimalism master Steve Reich, a contemporary of Glass’s. At the heart of this program are TCP’s acclaimed arrangements of Aguas da Amazonia and Metamorphosis One. These enchanting works bring focus to Glass’s gorgeous harmonic vocabulary, performed on an array of traditional and unexpected percussion instruments.
