Maya Beiser x Philip Glass in Concert
Chamber Orchestra - Center for the Art of Performance UCLA, Nimoy Theater
Program Info: “A fresh and absorbing approach to the music of Philip Glass.” — All Music
“The adventurous Ms. Beiser has been called the ‘cello goddess,’ which is not hyperbole: She summons from her instrument an emotional power so stirring that even the most stoic audience members risk turning into sobbing sacks of flesh.” – New York Times
Dubbed “the reigning queen of avant-garde cello,” by The Washington Post, Maya Beiser assembles a team of today’s most celebrated cellists to embark on a fresh musical examination of legendary composer Phillip Glass’ most cherished works.
Maya’s multi-cello arrangements include Glass’ piano Etudes Nos. 2 and 5, Mad Rush, Music in Similar Motion, and selections from Naqoyqatsi, part of Glass’s Qatsi Trilogy with filmmaker Godfrey Reggio.
Maya Beiser x Philip Glass in Concert will feature cellists Clarice Jensen, Christine Lamprea, Andrew Yee and Jeffrey Zeigler as they discover new insight into the master composer’s expansive catalog.
