Composer Philip Glass changed American music forever. As a forefather of minimalism, Glass invented a new way to create music, and with it, brought new audiences to concert halls. Through his operas, his symphonies, his compositions for his own ensemble, and his wide-ranging collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen to David Bowie, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact upon the musical and intellectual landscapes of his time.

For Philip Glass’ 75th birthday celebration year, the Modlin Center for the Arts’ Philip Glass Festival will explore the profound legacy of this prolific artist. Through lectures, demonstrations, films, performances, and the ModlinArts Artist Voices Series, this festival will examine the many facets and the enduring genius of Glass’ work.
