Glass in Paris

Philip Glass in 1980

This weekend, American composer Philip Glass travels east to perform two programs at East Hampton’s Guild Hall. As WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us in this Fishko Files, Glass’s travel overseas – much further east, to Paris in the ‘60s – was central to his music, as he encountered a pair of powerful influences. (Produced in 2017)

Listen to "An Hour with Philip Glass" here. (Produced in 2006)

Philip Glass: Works for Piano, Programs A and B runs at Guild Hall this Saturday, August 17 and Sunday, August 18. Visit their website for tickets and more information.
