Dennis Russell Davies conducts Philip Glass
This program celebrating Philip Glass’ 90th birthday year is led by longtime collaborator Dennis Russell Davies. Recognized as one of America’s most important and original artists, Glass has enjoyed a career that spans early experimental works created for his own ensemble, the groundbreaking music theater work Einstein on the Beach, some 30 operas, many acclaimed film scores, a dozen concertos, and in his later career, 15 symphonies. Davies encouraged Glass to write his first orchestral concert score, the Violin Concerto, in 1987, and led the premieres of all three of these works.
