Philip Glass
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Philip Glass is often associated with musical minimalism, but it’s another “ism” to which the composer may feel a closer connection: Buddhism. From his visits to India in the 1960s to his soundtrack to the film Kundun (about the young Dalai Lama coming of age and escaping Tibet) to co-founding the Tibet House in 1987, he has made it a part of his life and career. He joins us today in advance of a benefit concert for Tibetan refugees at Carnegie Hall.
