San Francisco Performances (SFP) presents the iconic American composer Philip Glass performing the Bay Area Premiere of his two-decades-in-the-making piano etudes with Timo Andres and Maki Namekawa.
Glass performs a special program of his complete piano etudes, a series of works spanning 20 years of his life as a composer and begun in 1994 partly as a 50th birthday gift to conductor and pianist Dennis Russell Davies and also to expand his piano technique with music that would challenge his playing. He is joined by Maki Namekawa, a leading interpreter of his music, and Timo Andres, a star composer-pianist among a new generation of American mavericks.
