Happy Birthday Philip Glass. We are excited and honored to be publishing his memoir next year!
That’ll be on our reading list. But for tonight, Philip Glass’s Symphony No. 9 is set to have its U.S. premiere at Carnegie Hall, as part of his “75th Birthday Concert.” Check out Seth Colter Walls’s interview with Glass over at Capital New York:
“There is a special political agenda [of mine] which can be seen, not in every piece … . But there’s a very strong, I would say, awareness of the way in which entertainment and theater and film and opera and music can participate in an active dialog with public.”
“Active,” Glass repeats immediately for emphasis. “Active!”
