The Philip Glass Ensemble Performs Koyaanisqatsi
Don’t miss this extraordinary live film and music experience as the Philip Glass Ensemble performs the groundbreaking score to Koyaanisqatsi. This one-night-only performance pairs the Ensemble’s signature sound with Godfrey Reggio’s influential 1982 film, creating an immersive evening of music and cinema. Koyaanisqatsi is the first film in Reggio’s acclaimed Qatsi trilogy, offering a hauntingly powerful meditation on technology, humanity, and the natural world. The score, composed by Philip Glass, is widely regarded as a landmark in minimalist music and one of the most celebrated film soundtracks of the last half-century. Hearing it performed live by the Philip Glass Ensemble, the group for whom it was written, elevates this cinematic experience into a transcendent, visceral event.
*Important Note: This performance does not include the Colorado Symphony.
