SUMMARY:London\, UK (The Tao of Glass)
DESCRIPTION:August 21\, 2026  \nAn exploration of life\, loss and a single question: Where does true inspiration come from? \nComposer Philip Glass and performer-director Phelim McDermott have worked together on acclaimed opera productions in London\, New York and beyond\, and Tao of Glass is their most personal collaboration yet. Inspired by a dream\, this London premiere marries ten meditations on life\, death and Taoist wisdom with ten brand new pieces of music from Glass\, presented by McDermott with an ensemble of musicians and puppeteers. \nPart-concert\, part-performance\, Tao of Glass is a storytelling tapestry\, soundtracked by Glass’s mesmerising music and shot through with Improbable’s trademark theatricality. \nFind out more: https://www.improbable.co.uk/current-projects/tao-of-glass \n

SUMMARY:Melbourne\, Australia (Etudes/In the Upper Room)
DESCRIPTION:https://nowornever.melbourne.vic.gov.au/event/reb-phillip-glass \nPresented with Museums VictoriaPhilip Glass: Piano Etudes + In the Upper Room \nPerformed by Maki Namekawa + Orchestra Victoria \nFri 21 Aug  |  6:30pm — 9:45pmRoyal Exhibition Building \nA unique concert experience celebrating the legacy of visionary composer Philip Glass. \nWitness two major works by one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. Widely recognised as a pioneering figure of minimalism\, Glass’s music is characterised by cyclical patterns\, driving rhythms and gradual transformation — though he resisted the minimalist label\, preferring to define his work on its own structural terms. \nFirst\, Orchestra Victoria performs In the Upper Room\, a rarely presented work of scale\, intensity and layered sound\, conducted by Fabian Russell. Originally composed for Twyla Tharp’s landmark ballet\, this concert presentation places the focus squarely on Glass’s composition. \nThen\, world-renowned concert pianist Maki Namekawabrings Piano Etudes 1–10 to life. A leading interpreter of Glass’s music\, Namekawa brings extraordinary clarity and intensity to these meditative studies. Having worked closely with the composer\, she is widely regarded as the definitive interpreter of the Etudes\, revealing profound emotional depth beneath their elegant structures. \nTogether\, these performances span the intimate and the monumental: a hypnotic\, ever-shifting journey through the revolutionary music of Philip Glass. \nTickets$75 – $130BLAKTIX: $50
