He’s influenced Brian Eno and William Orbit. He’s written cult film-scores and ice-cool operas. His music features in Battlestar Galactica and Grand Theft Auto IV. He’s even been lampooned on South Park. He’s Philip Glass; he’s probably the most influential classical composer in the world today – and until you’ve heard his music live, you haven’t really heard it at all. Experience the virtuoso English Chamber Orchestra tackling three of Glass’s most influential masterpieces. From 1983’s seminal Company to Glass’s Oscar-nominated score for 2003’s The Hours, there’s nothing minimalist about the power of this music.

ECO director Stephanie Conley gives it the ultimate personal touch by leading from the violin, and she puts Glass in the perfect frame: three of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most timeless orchestral works.

Vibrant, supremely beautiful music from two very different centuries: a massage for the mind and a tonic for the spirit.
