Mad Rush: Piano Music of Philip Glass

As part of the Museum’s free classical music series, pianist Lisa Moore will perform tracks from her latest album during Mad Rush: Piano Music of Philip Glass. Moore will transport fans of classical harmonics to a new altitude, reviving the critically-acclaimed contemporary pieces. Originally composed and performed by American composer Philip Glass, one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, noted for his work in film beginning with the cult film, Koyaanisqatsi (1982), followed by more than 100 other film scores including The Illusionist, Fantastic Four and The Hours. “Metamorphosis,” the title of five of the seven tracks on Glass’ solo piano, refers to Franz Kafka’s 1915 short story, The Metamorphosis, a 20th century seminal work of fiction. Moore incorporates her sharp piano technique and bodily expression into a recital not to be missed.
