Philip Glass tickets selling fast!
The very thought of a world-famous composer playing a piano recital of his own music is mind-boggling...[Glass' recital] emits the gentle charm of the man himself, the combination of modesty and self-confidence that conquers and disarms an audience. --Charleston Post & Courier
The concert is on April 7, but already there are fewer than 80 tickets remaining for a special solo performance by the legendary Philip Glass in the 300-seat Carriage House Theatre.
Through his operas, his symphonies, his compositions for his own ensemble, and his wide-ranging collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen to David Bowie, Glass has had an extraordinary impact on the modern cultural scene. This solo recital, part of our Piano Masters Series, is a rare chance to see a master perform in an intimate setting.

 Acclaimed pianist Simone Dinnerstein will open our popular Piano Masters Series with a performance in the intimate Carriage House Theatre on Saturday, January 11, at 8pm.
Dinnerstein's album Bach: A Strange Beauty hit #1 on the Billboard Classical charts in its first week of release. She performed her beautiful rendition of Bach's Goldberg Variations to a full house at Montalvo last November. In January, she will perform:
- Chopin's Nocturne No. 8 in D-flat Major, Op. 27
- Felsenfeld's The Cohen Variations (West Coast premiere)
- Brahms' Intermezzo, Op. 118, No. 2 in A
- Bach's Partita No. 2 in C Minor
- Schubert's Four Impromptus, Op. 90
- Bach's Partita No. 1 in B-flat Major
Dinnerstein's highly anticipated new album, Something Almost Being Said: Music of Bach and Schubert, debuts January 31. It was recorded at the Academy of Arts and Letters in New York by Grammy-winning producer Adam Abeshouse. Take a look at her video below!
