Koyaanisqatsi
Philip Glass Ensemble - Spot/De Oosterpoort
Program Info: Philip Glass - Koyaanisqatsi
In the 1980s, the experimental film Koyaanisqatsi unleashed a revolution in the film industry, partly thanks to the legendary soundtrack by Philip Glass. The sound of this work played a key role in Glass's oeuvre and can be heard in many other works. The Philip Glass Ensemble, which specialises in performing Glass's complex work, will perform Koyaanisqatsi 's score live while the film is displayed on the big screen. A unique experience!
The Philip Glass Ensemble is a specialised collective dedicated to performing the compositions of Philip Glass. The ensemble was created specifically to manage the complexity of Glass's demanding work. Over the years, the Philip Glass Ensemble has not only become an important source of the composer's creativity, but also a translator of his work. The ensemble, founded by Philip Glass himself, attaches great importance to passing on knowledge and techniques to future generations of musicians.
