Philip Glass Ensemble returns to present the UK premiere of its Retrospective programme - a kind of partial 'Greatest Hits' that revisits some of Philip Glass' most important, popular and epoch-defining works. They include the Cologne Section from CIVIL warS (1984), originally created for an unrealised Robert Wilson project for the Los Angeles Olympic Games; excerpts from the seminal Music In 12 Parts, which resonate alongside key works from the 1980s including the last act of his chamber opera The Photographer, and music written for Godfrey Reggio's cult film Koyaanisqatsi. Music in Similar Motion meantime, dizzying and determined, takes the story back to 1969.
