Join us for the world premiere of Perpetulum by iconic minimalist composer Philip Glass, his first-ever work for a percussion ensemble, commissioned by Third Coast Percussion. Glass himself scarcely requires introduction, having garnered Kennedy Center Honors, multiple Academy Award nominations, and a National Medal of Arts, in addition to being considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. Third Coast will join Glass onstage for both performance and conversation.
