SUMMARY:Narva\, Estonia (Einstein on the Beach)
DESCRIPTION:https://www.piletilevi.ee/en/tickets/BCPH25DBBV/philip-glass-einstein-on-the-beach \nPhilip Glass / Einstein On The Beach Sa 15.08.2026 • 17:00 – 22:00Kreenholmi Manufaktuur\, Narva \nNarva Opera Festival presents: Philip Glass “Einstein on the Beach” \nOn 15 August 2026\, as part of the anniversary festival of Narva Opera Festival\, one of the most extraordinary and influential works of contemporary opera – Philip Glass’s “Einstein on the Beach” — will be performed at the Kreenholm Manufactory. \nSat 15.08.2026 \nNarva Kreenholm \nPHILIP GLASS / EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH \nMatteo Mazzoni / Jaan Ots / Luca Attili / Ketlin Oja \nEnsemble X \nTexts: Christopher Knowles\, Samuel M. Johnson\, Lucinda Childs \nConductor and Music Director Jaan Ots \nDirector Matteo Mazzoni \nVideo Artist Luca Attili \nChoreographer Ketlin Oja \nProducer Julia Savitskaja \nPhilip Glass’s “Einstein on the Beach”\, a work that probes the conceptual boundaries of the opera genre\, takes the audience on a journey where it becomes possible to glimpse behind the scenes of the operatic world and experience the performing arts from an entirely new perspective. The Kreenholm Manufactory lends this stage work a rare dimension. The monumental walls of the former industrial empire become a scenic. partner to a work that is itself a monument — one of the boldest and most influential landmarks of 20th-century music theatre. Here in Narva\, industrial heritage\, minimalist music\, and the freedom of contemporary performance art meet. The performance lasts five hours without an interval. During the performance\, the audience is free to move around. A bar will also be open. \nNarva Opera Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary year in the historic setting of the Kreenholm Manufactory in Narva. The festival offers musical experiences\, a sense of ceremony\, and timeless beauty. \nAbout Narva Opera Festival \nFounded 169 years ago as Europe’s largest textile enterprise – the Kreenholm Manufactory once had a choir that was conducted by the grandfather of beloved Estonian singer Georg Ots. Today\, in this richly historicist setting\, contemporary opera is performed and modern ballet from Estonia and neighbouring countries can be enjoyed.At Narva Opera Festival\, East and West\, history and the present\, aristocrats and bohemians meet; around abandoned industrial buildings\, the freshest winds of the world’s music theatre begin to blow. In the Kreenholm district\, one can sense the aura of the Tsarist era\, Soviet solemnity\, and today’s cosmopolitan spirit. Here\, bold avant- garde meets the finest traditions.The festival was founded by Narva-born opera singer Julia Savitskaja\, who has been organising the festival since 2015. In 2018\, Julia received the Estonian Cultural Endowment’s “Cultural Pearl” award for organising Narva Opera Festival\, and in 2022she was awarded the title of the City of Narva’s professional cultural figure in the field of music.

SUMMARY:Aspen\, CO (The Hours\, Tirol Concerto)
DESCRIPTION:https://www.aspenmusicfestival.com/events/calendar/simone-dinnerstein-piano \n\nDinnerstein Plays Bach and Philip Glass \n\nPROGRAM \nPHILIP GLASS: Suite from The HoursJ. S. BACH: Keyboard Concerto No. 2 in E major\, BWV 1053—PHILIP GLASS: Piano Concerto No. 1 “Tirol Concerto” \nCalled “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity” by The Washington Post\, Simone Dinnerstein made musical waves in 2007 with her distinctive interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Here she spans the worlds of Philip Glass and Bach. Simone will be playing\, as well as conducting the orchestra! \nGlass’s First Piano Concerto resulted from a commission from the Tyrol\, Austria\, tourist board. After studying recordings and scores from the region\, Glass incorporated folk music source material in a composition for the first time. Bach’s affable and cheery Keyboard Concerto No. 2 is sometimes played as the oboe concerto from which Bach apparently recycled the piece. It must have been a favorite of his since he used all three movements again in cantatas. The performance will also feature Glass’s three-movement suite from the film The Hours\, a movie nominated for an Academy Award\, a Golden Globe Award\, and a Grammy. \nHear one of the piano world’s most individualistic voices when Dinnerstein returns to Harris Concert Hall!06With special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Rutherfoord\, Jr.
