This past week I played a selection of Opera from the composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich. I started the program with the first scene from Glass's Opera "Einstein on the Beach" entitled "Train 1." I then followed that with excerpts from the first act of Steve Reich's Opera "The Cave." Both of these are two very interesting pieces, with Glass's work being an homage to Einstein, and Reich's a recognition of a Mosque and the questions of religion.
I finished the program with a piece by a good friend of mine, Brian Petuch. Brian and I both recently graduated from FAU together and he has taught me much about composition. I played his piece "The JR Line," which can be found here.
This Friday I will unfortunately have to miss my show because I will be traveling to New York for Amanda's birthday. I'll be back for my show the following week, May 8th.
