Glass Etudes

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We'll sample some of Philip Glass's Etudes for Piano with the composer himself at the keyboard; also, an excerpt from his 1993 opera based on Jean Cocteau's film "Orphée. Later on, tenor Rolando Villazon digs his teeth into oldies (but goodies!) by Claudio Monteverdi.

Pianist Michael Korstick performs the Fifth Piano Concerto of modern French master Darius Milhaud; we'll also engage in some wishful thinking with Frederic Delius's wistful "Summer Evening." Topping things off is a wonderful performance of John Adams's Violin Concerto from Robert McDuffie; Christoph Eschenbach leads the Houston Symphony Orchestra.
