Philip Glass has had an extraordinary impact on the musical and intellectual life of our times. Through his operas, symphonies, film soundtracks, and collaborations with a variety of figures within the arts, including Twyla Tharp, Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen, David Bowie, and Chuck Close, Glass has become one of America’s most influential and renowned composers. On this intimate evening, Glass discusses his illustrious career, shares riveting stories about SoHo in the 70’s, and reflects on his many collaborative projects with Chuck Close and other art world luminaries. Following the talk, audience members are invited to visit the exhibition, Chuck Close Prints: Process and Collaboration, in which several prints featuring Closes’ iconic Phil image are on view.
