The Philip Glass Ensemble is traveling to Zaragoza, Spain to premiere a new work. The concert is happening on the last day of the annual World Expo, a massive 2 month conference on water and sustainable development that also features cultural exchanges between countries in the forms of music and art. The PGE piece will be coordinated to a live fireworks display, and close to a million people are expected to hear the piece through loudspeakers placed up and down the main waterway of Zaragoza.

Later in September the NOW Ensemble will be performing my music on a tour in Northern Mexico to support their new CD.

I was riding my bike the other night and I passed through Prospect Park. There was a concert happening at the Bandshell, and it struck me how amazing it is to see live music as the sun is going down in a beautiful park surrounded by music lovers and very tall trees.

With that being said, I invite to you come hear the Philip Glass Ensemble perform Powaqqatsi with film (the 2nd in Godfrey Reggio’s Qatsi Trilogy) @ Prospect Park on July 25th. The concert features the core ensemble + brass, strings and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. It’s also free.
