Glass 90
Cappella Amsterdam + Lavinia Meijer conducted by Cyrille Nanchen - Muziekgebouw, Grote Zaal
Program Info: Cappella Amsterdam Cyrille Nanchen, conductor Lavinia Meijer, harp
You will be told: 'Her arrangements give me new insights into my own music', says none other than minimal great Philip Glass about the interpretations of harpist Lavinia Meijer. 'With Glass, everything I was looking for in my life falls into place,' Meijer says in turn about the composer. A match made in heaven. Lavinia Meijer and top choir Cappella Amsterdam, conducted by Cyrille Nanchen, will bring an evening with the most beautiful music by Philip Glass.
Philip Glass' clear, repetitive and instantly recognisable style is the starting point of this program. The most beautiful parts of his operas such as Akhnaten and Einstein on the Beach , film music from Koyaanisqatsi and a solo work for harp show you all corners of the Glass room, supplemented with related music by Caroline Shaw, among others. Harp and choir alternate and complement each other: from intimate solos to serene a cappella moments, from tranquil passages to more rhythmic parts.
