The Complete Philip Glass Piano Etudes
About This Event
Ten pianists perform all 20 of Philip Glass's Piano Etudes in one night, celebrating his 90th year. Adelaide Festival 2027, Festival Theatre, Fri 5 Mar.
Ten pianists celebrate Philip Glass's legacy in his 90th year, as they perform all 20 of his Piano Etudes — his most personal and inventive compositions.
Written across 25 years as exercises for his own playing, the Etudes have become one of the great piano cycles of our time: by turns meditative and ferocious, tender and relentless. Hearing the complete set in a single evening, passed between ten different hands, reveals the full arc of Glass's late style — and the extraordinary range hidden inside his famous repetitions.
A once-in-a-generation concert for one of the defining composers of the modern age.
