SUMMARY:Graz\, Austria (Harpsichord Concerto)
DESCRIPTION:https://styriarte.com/produktionen/american-dream \nDas Adagio von Samuel Barber wurde durch Hollywood zum traumhaft schönen Trauerstück des Kinos. Mei-Ann Chen kombiniert es mit Strawinskis fröhlichem Concerto für einen Park in Washington D.C. und mit einem furiosen Streichertanz der New Yorkerin Jessie Montgomery. Und Michael Hell zeigt\, wie anders ein Cembalo klingt\, wenn Philip Glass seine „Minimal Music“ darüber ausbreitet.  \nPROGRAMM\nSamuel Barber: Adagio for Strings\, op. 11 Philip Glass: Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra (2002) Steve Reich: Duet Jessie Montgomery: Strum Igor Strawinski: Concerto in Es\, „Dumbarton Oaks”

In her new work\, premiering at the Berliner Festspiele\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker weaves obsessive turns\, geometric forms and early compositions by Philip Glass into a choreographic experiment suspended between trance and rigorous form. \nArtist Talkwith Anne Teresa De Keersmaekeron Friday\, 20.11.2026 after the performanceHaus der Berliner Festspiele\, Main StageIn English \nA space turns into circle and spiral; time and body into a repeating pulse. With GLA55. 10 movements to the music of Philip Glass\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker\, a pioneer of contemporary choreography\, once again invites audiences into the mechanical yet trance-like world of minimal movement. \nSix dancers from the Rosas dance company share the stage with seven members of the ensembles Ictus and Bl!ndman. Their inspiration comes from Philip Glass’s early works – Music in Contrary Motion\, Music in Fifths\, Music in Similar Motion and Music with Changing Parts. The result is a physical ritual that renders both geometry and time tangible: ellipses\, circles\, and spirals emerge as recurring figures\, the choreography condenses movement into a continuum of tension and release\, stillness and rotation. Each impulse\, each turn generates a resonance in space that draws the audience into a corporeal experience of time\, making obsessive repetition and rhythmic precision palpable. GLA55 is an experimental invocation that recalibrates the relationship between music\, space and body\, distilling minimal material to its highest intensity. Here\, bodies\, sound and rhythmic structure merge into a singular experience in which perception itself enters a subtle\, hypnotic oscillation. \nWith GLA55\, De Keersmaeker returns to a guiding principle of her practice: exhausting minimal abstract material to the limits of its possibilities. Trance-like states\, manic turns and circling movements come to the fore – choreographic gestures that have shaped her artistic signature style since Fase (1982) and the founding of the company Rosas in 1983\, and which have also been institutionalised with the establishment of the P.A.R.T.S. training center for contemporary dance in 1995. \nFor over four decades\, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker has developed works that rigorously explore the relationship between music\, space\, and movement. Earlier key pieces such as Asch (1980)\, Rosas danst Rosas (1983) and The Six Brandenburg Concertos (2018) exemplify her consistent use of a minimal formal language\, which in GLA55 finds a new fusion with the music of Philip Glass. \nArtistic Team \nAnne Teresa De Keersmaeker – ChoreographyBoštjan Antončič\, Niklas Capel\, Lav Crnčević\, José Paulo dos Santos\, Sunai Elbers\, Sue Yeon Youn – Co-Creation and DancePhilip Glass Music in Contrary Motion\, Music in Fifths\, Music in Similar Motion\, Music with Changing Parts – MusicIctus & Bl!ndman: Fabian Coomans\, Chryssi Dimitriou\, Aisha Orazbayeva\, Hendrik Pellens\, Jean-Luc Plouvier\, Piet Rebel\, Eric Sleichim – MusiciansMinna Tiikkainen – Lighting DesignAouatif Boulaich – CostumesWannes Gyselinck – DramaturgyAlexandre Fostier – Sound

SUMMARY:Berkeley\, CA (The Complete Piano Etudes)
DESCRIPTION:https://calperformances.org/events/2026-27/new-music/the-complete-philip-glass-piano-etudes/ \nPianists to include Timo Andres\, Aaron Diehl\, Daniela Liebman\, and Jason Moran \nPhilip Glass’ Piano Etudes\, “portals into Glass’ world of whirling arpeggios\, shocking rhythmic and harmonic turns\, and meditative discipline” (The New York Times)\, represent the composer’s most personal body of work\, a self-portrait of a life’s practice representing some of his most intimate and inventive music. Cal Performances hosts a marathon tribute to the prolific and hugely influential composer during his 90th birthday year\, inviting 10 accomplished pianists from all corners of the music world–both longtime Glass interpreters and special guests–to reflect on this remarkable music. \n“It works best\, therefore\, to think about the Etudes… as sketches of a creative force whose work will outlast any single one of us\, including the artist who made it”—The Guardian \nPlease note: Philip Glass will not be present for this performance. \nThis performance is made possible in part by Françoise Stone. Additional support is provided by the Estate of Anne Shortall.

SUMMARY:Lyon\, France (DANCE)
DESCRIPTION:https://www.festival-automne.com/en/edition-2026/lucinda-childs-alessandro-sciarroni-ballet-de-opera-de-lyon-dance-hope \nThe Ballet de l’Opéra de Lyon brings together two repetitive movement choreographers: Lucinda Childs\, with Dance\, an iconic work first performed in 1979\, and Alessandro Sciarroni\, winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale\, who presents HØPE\, a new work inspired by a dance found in cowboy culture.  \nIt is impossible to grow tired of watching Dance\, an emblematic work of post-modern dance. Devised very much in complicity with composer Philip Glass and visual artist Sol LeWitt\, it furthered the research carried out by Lucinda Childs after her collaboration with Bob Wilson on Einstein on the Beach. In it\, the choreographer unfurls writing that is rigorous\, abstract\, and free from all forms of narration. The choreographic motifs are repeated and go out of synch in a subtle way\, and at the same time the music and video multiply the different effects\, giving rise to a hypnotic experience.  \nThis dialogue at the crossroads between dance\, musical composition and the visual arts is also an integral part of Alessandro Sciarroni’s work. After exploring various folklore dances from Folks to Save the Last Dance for Me\, he now tackles the two-step\, a dance with strict codes that is associated with cowboying. Drawing upon repetition and variation\, he progressively alters its outlines\, via the introduction of rhythmic and perceptive shifts. The experience gives rise to emotion of a unique kind\, tinged with softness and nostalgia.
