An all-Glass program performed by Philip Glass and two guest pianists featuring recent composition for solo piano and new arrangements of classic Glass works.
PROGRAM B
(SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Mad Rush (1979)
Composed and performed by Philip Glass
Mad Rush was adapted from an earlier organ piece, Fourth Series Part 4, commissioned by Radio Bremen for the Holland Festival. Mad Rush was created as entrance music for the Dalai Lama on his 1979 visit to St. John The Devine Cathedral in New York. The Dalai Lama’s arrival time was uncertain, so Mad Rush was created as a piece that could be stretched for an indefinite period of time without the audience realizing that any delay was occurring. Mad Rush has since been adapted for solo piano.
Etude No. 8 (2007), No. 18 (2012) and No. 10 (1996)

Performed by Jenny Lin
There were a number of special events and commissions that facilitated the composition of the Etudes by Philip Glass. The original set of six was composed for Dennis Russell Davies on the occasion of his 50th birthday in 1994. These Etudeswere later renumbered as Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10. Etude No. 6 was commissioned in 1994 by WNYC for John Schaefer’s new music program under the original title ‘Now So Long After That Time’. Etude No. 7 was commissioned by the Sydney Festival in 1996. Etudes 12 and 13 were commissioned by Bruce Levingston in 2007 and premiered in New York at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Etude No. 17 was commissioned for the 25th Anniversary of the Menil Collection in Houston, TX, and premiered in 2012. The final three works, Etudes Nos. 18, 19 and 20, were commissioned by the Perth Festival in 2012 in honor of Glass’s 75th birthday, and premiered on 16 February 2013.

Metamorphoses 2 & 3 (1989)
Composed and performed by Philip Glass
Metamorphosis is set of piano pieces composed from 1988-1989 drawn from both Errol Morris’ film A Thin Blue Line and a staging of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, part of The Kafka Trilogy (The Process) by Gerald Thomas, first performed in São Paulo, Brazil. As both projects were undertaken at the same time, the music seemed to lend itself well to a synthesis of this kind.
Four Movements for Two Pianos (2008)
Composed by Philip Glass
Performed by Anton Batagov & Jenny Lin
This piece was commissioned by the Klavier-Festival Ruhr, and was premiered in Essen, Germany in July of 2008.
Opening (1981)
Composed by Philip Glass
Performed by Philip Glass, Anton Batagov and Jenny Lin
Glassworks was originally written as a commission for CBS Records in 1981 (the first CD of mine recorded for that company). Besides work for my ensemble, it contained several unusual pieces including Opening for solo piano and Façadesfor solo soprano saxophone. Some of this music later formed the basis of Jerome Robbins’ dance piece at the New York City Ballet in 1983. Opening was the beginning of a series of music for solo piano, which I am still adding to, to this day.

Composer/Pianist Bruce Wolosoff
Singer/Songwriter Juliet Garrett
perform their own works, solo and with band
Band:
Cellist – Dorothy Lawson
Guitarist – John Brodeur
Electric Bass – Sam Minaie
Drums – Chuck Staab
An evening of original music by Bruce Wolosoff and his daughter, Juliet Garrett. Mr. Wolosoff is a composer and pianist, whose credits include 3 ballets with choreographer Ann Reinking and a recent recording of his cello concerto by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His work has been recognized for the way it integrates modern, classical, jazz, and blues together into “an authentic American voice”.
Ms. Garrett is a songwriter and singer who has recently finished recording her first EP, Make Believe, in London. Raised on Shelter Island, she has played across Europe and in New York, most recently appearing this summer at Stephen Talkhouse and at Annie O’s Standard Sounds showcase. Her songs resonate as ‘honest,’ ‘heartfelt,’ and ‘classic,’ bringing ‘the tradition of 70’s formal songwriting into the modern day.’
The two will share the stage for a one-night-only, father/daughter concert presentation of their work on Friday, September 6th, at the John Drew Theater in Guild Hall.
Mr. Wolosoff will perform solo piano as well as sections of a new work in progress inspired by the Odyssey, with a band including electric guitar, bass, drums, piano, synthesizer and electric cello (played by Dorothy Lawson of the string quartet ETHEL). Ms. Garrett will play a set of her songs with a band, featuring Dorothy, guitarist John Brodeur of Bird Streets, and Melody Gardot’s rhythm section: Sam Minaie on bass and Chuck Staab on drums.

Water Lilies of Monet
Voyage through the masterpieces and obsessions of the genius and founder of Impressionism, Claude Monet. An art-world disruptor at the turn of the 20th century whose obsession with capturing light and water broke all convention, Monet revolutionized Modern Art with his timeless masterpieces.
An in-depth, exclusive tour led by Monet scholars of the museums that house the largest collections of the prolific artist’s lilies paintings including the Musée Marmottan Monet, the Orsay Museum, the world-famous panels at L’Orangerie and concluding with Monet’s own house and gardens at Giverny, the site where his fascination for water lilies was born.
Klimt & Schiele: Eros and Psyche
Klimt & Schiele: Eros and Psyche, recounts the start of the Vienna Secession, a magical art movement formed in the late 1890’s for art, literature and music, in which new ideas are circulated, Freud discovers the drives of the psyche, and women begin to claim their independence. It was a movement that marked a new era outside the confines of academic tradition.
At the heart of Secession were artists Gustav Klimt and his protégé and dear friend Egon Schiele. This exhibition proves an in-depth examination of images of extraordinary visual power: from the eroticism of Klimt’s mosaic-like works, to the anguished and raw work of the young Schiele in his magnetic nudes and contorted figures against the backdrop of nocturnal Vienna, full of masked balls and dreams imbued with sexuality.

Afterward, the ghosts of great players start emerging from the crops to play ball, led by “Shoeless” Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta). But, as Ray learns, this field of dreams is about much more than bringing former baseball greats out to play.
