Philip Glass: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Philip Glass

Philip Glass is an American composer and pianist whose career helped shape late-20th-century concert music, often through tightly organized repetition and slowly shifting patterns. Though frequently linked to minimalism, his output moves across forms and collaborations, including rock/pop contexts. In New York City he appears at National Sawdust, a venue that places his work alongside a wide range of contemporary artists and ensembles. His performances tend to favor structure and forward motion over display.
