CONCERTS BY PHILIP GLASS ENSEMBLE
30-year retrospective concerts of repertoire written by Philip Glass for the Philip Glass Ensemble. Programs vary.

THE QATSI TRILOGY
Over 25 years in the making and available for the first time in its entirety, the completed QATSI TRILOGY by avant garde filmmaker Godfrey Reggio and composer Philip Glass has been reinvented as a live film and music concert event. Designed to be shown on three consecutive evenings with music performed live by Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble.

BOOK OF LONGING
A new major work based on the poetry and images of Leonard Cohen, Book of Longing has been conceived as an evening-length concert work composed for ensemble, singers, spoken word and imagery. The piece features new music by Philip Glass inspired by Cohen's most recently published book of the same name.

PHILIP GLASS CHAMBER MUSIC
An evening of Philip Glass chamber music performed by Philip Glass, Wendy Sutter and Mick Rossi. The program features excerpts from Songs & Poems for Solo Cello, Naqoyqatsi, and recent etudes.

EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH
Pomegranate Arts has spear-headed a campaign to launch an international tour of Robert Wilson & Philip Glass' seminal collaborative work EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH. First performed in 1976 at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and the Festival d'Avignon subsequently toured in 1984 and 1993 to a select number of cities.

The Glass-Wilson opera takes a metaphorical look at Einstein through a surrealistic non-narrative structure. Exploring his place in popular consciousness via his legacy as scientist, humanist, amateur musician-and the creator of the atom bomb, EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH represents for Wilson a move away from the complex mis en scene of his earliest plays towards the stripped-down geometry of his later work. It is a precise statement of light, movement, design, and duration, whose mathematical precision is accentuated by Glass' musical score and Lucinda Child's choreography.

Widely credited as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the 20th century, EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH changed opera forever and continues to be recognized as one of contemporary performance's greatest masterpieces.

PHILIP ON FILM
Exploring the role of music as it relates to the moving image on film, this unprecedented event features five evening-length works for music and film created over the past 25 years. Presented as a week-long event or individual evenings.
