Carl St. Clair Conducts the Pacific Symphony in Philip Glass' Passion of Ramakrishna

“Kepler”  (OMM): Philip Glass’ latest opera is a musically cosmic meditation on the cosmos, replete with Glass’ trademark moves and some exciting new ones. A live recording from the Linz, Germany, premiere in 2009 is thrillingly conducted by Dennis Russell Davies and an excellent warm-up for Pacific Symphony’s Glass festival in March.

The Festival he's referring to is the Pacific Symphony dusting off the four year old major work The Passion of Ramakrishna.  It's a large 45 minute work for solois, chorus, and orchestra and a humdinger of a piece and it's part of the orchestra's "The Passion of Philip Glass" fesitval.
