SUMMARY:London\, UK (String Quartets Nos.2\,3\,4\, and 7)
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2027 \nBrooklyn Rider performs three of Philip Glass’ string quartets\, tracing his musical voice from early minimalism to later richness. \nPioneering New York-based quartet Brooklyn Rider have worked closely with Glass for two decades\, performing his music from their earliest concerts and later recording the complete cycle of his string quartets. \nTheir concert brings together three quartets written across more than 30 years. The Second Quartet\, drawn from music for Samuel Beckett’s Company\, distills Glass’ early style into a sequence of spare\, lyrical ideas. \nThe Fourth Quartet (Buczak) is more expansive and personal. Written in memory of artist Brian Buczak\, it unfolds with a sense of quiet intensity\, balancing flowing lines with moments of stillness. \nThe Seventh Quartet\, from 2014\, takes a different approach again. Cast in a single movement\, it pares music back to its essentials\, creating a direct and reflective sound world. \nTogether\, these works offer a rounded portrait of Glass’ perceptive writing for string quartet\, performed by four of his closest collaborators. \nFind out more: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/philip-glass-at-90-brooklyn-rider-quartets/   \nRepertoire  \n Philip Glass:   \nString Quartet No.7;  \nString Quartet No.2 (Company);  \nString Quartet No.4 (Buczak);  \nString Quartet No.3 (Mishima)

SUMMARY:Berlin\, Germany (Akhnaten)
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2027 Mit Echnaton setzte Minimal-Music-Pionier Philip Glass einer der rätselhaftesten Persönlichkeiten der Weltgeschichte ein Denkmal. Barrie Kosky inszeniert den Aufstieg und Fall des Pharaos gleichermaßen bildschön wie bewegungsintensiv.  \nTheben um 1300 vor unserer Zeit: Amenophis III. ist tot. Sein Sohn Amenophis IV.\, der sich später Echnaton nennt\, wird zum König gekrönt. Der junge Pharao kündigt den Beginn einer neuen Ära an – er zerstört den Tempel der polytheistischen Religion der Amun-Priester und erklärt den Sonnengott Aton zur einzigen Gottheit. Doch Echnatons Herrschaft ist nicht von Dauer. Die Amun-Priester stellen die alte Ordnung wieder her\, und Echnaton wird als Begründer der ersten monotheistischen Religion gestürzt.  \nBarrie Kosky verzichtet in seiner Inszenierung auf ägyptische Referenzen. Stattdessen erleben wir einen weißen Bühnenraum mit abstrakten Bildern und ritualisierten Bewegungssequenzen\, die Philip Glass’ hypnotische Musik wie ein Mantra erfahrbar machen.

SUMMARY:London\, UK (Symphony No.15 "Lincoln")
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2027 \nThe first UK performance of Glass’ powerful new symphony\, inspired by Abraham Lincoln and the enduring importance of democratic values.  \nPhilip Glass has forged an unmistakable musical language over more than six decades\, built on repetition\, clarity and cumulative emotional power.  \nWritten in 2022\, the Symphony No.15 is one of Glass’ most recent large-scale works. Inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum Address\, the Symphony considers questions of democracy\, law and civic responsibility.  \nIt has already made headlines after the composer’s decision to withdraw its premiere performance from the newly renamed Trump Kennedy Center\, underlining the work’s contemporary relevance.  \nPresented on the day of the composer’s 90th birthday\, as part of a four-concert celebration of Glass’ music\, this performance offers a chance to hear an important new work by a composer whose music continues to compel audiences around the world.  \n Find out more: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/philip-glass-at-90-symphony-no-15/ \nPerformers  \n to be announced concert orchestra\, conductor\, baritone  \nRepertoire  \n Programme includes: –  \n Philip Glass: Symphony No.15 for baritone & orchestra (UK premiere)
