Minimalist pioneer Philip Glass‘s string quartets span more than fifty years of styles, collaborations, and inspirations. Whether composed to accompany Samuel Beckett or Mick Jagger, inspired by literature or art or film, these mesmerizing quartets trace the unstoppable progression of Glass’s trailblazing voice.
In celebration of its twentieth anniversary, the acclaimed New York City string quartet Brooklyn Rider performs Glass’s complete string quartets for the first time in the group’s hometown, adding to a deep, decade-and-a-half collaboration with the groundbreaking composer. Join us at The Met Cloisters for this eye-opening three-day series honoring an American icon.
