The Tune-In Music Festival at the Park Avenue Armory. I’m not a huge fan of Philip Glass (I’m also not super knowledgeable on Philip Glass so if you’re reading that last opinion of mine with derision know it’s only founded on a couple of less-than-positive experiences, perhaps in the future I’ll be exposed to more of Glass’ work and grow to like it more, but for now, yeah not the biggest fan) but this concert seems like an awesome mix. Check it out (and tell me how it is if you do, please!)
Nico Muhly with Nadia Sirota, Violist The final day of the Festival will begin with compilation of unique artists that Philip Glass has assembled and represent the forward momentum of contemporary music. Included are: Nico Muhly, an astonishing composer who is redefining the compositional field of new and classical music; the musically eclectic and radiant Tirtha, who meld the musical forms of Jazz and Indian music in ways that only the trio is capable of accomplishing; and Tania Leon, whose works as a composer and conductor have been presented worldwide. Singer-Songwriter, Zack Glass, will be joined on stage with Rubén González and Canadian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, as they present new compositions.
