Mason Artist-in-Residence Ripples in the Water: Philip Glass at 90
Grammy Award-winning quartet Third Coast Percussion (TCP) makes its Center for the Arts debut with an electrifying program celebrating the music and influence of composer Philip Glass, as he turns 90 in 2027. Building on a close artistic partnership, the ensemble commissioned Glass in 2018 to compose his first work for percussion ensemble. Honoring his enduring impact, the concert pairs that milestone work with music by electronic producer Jlin, pop polymath Devonté Hynes, TCP’s own David Skidmore, and minimalism master Steve Reich. Experience shimmering harmonies brought to life through thrilling rhythm, color, and texture, performed on a striking array of traditional and unexpected percussion instruments. “Third Coast Percussion continues to push percussion in new directions, blurring musical boundaries and beguiling new listeners” (NPR).
