Tune-In Music Festival: Philip Glass and Patti Smith: THE POET SPEAKS


Friday, February 24, 2012 at 7:30pm

Philip Glass and Patti Smith: The Poet Speaks

~SOLD OUT~

These two pillars of composition and interpretation come together in a program that pays homage to the great poet and mutual friend, Allen Ginsberg. The evening consists of compositions by both Philip Glass and Patti Smith and may include such works as Footnote to Howl, Magic Psalm, Wichita Vortex Sutra, and Glass’ own Etudes #2.

As a backdrop to The Poet Speaks, Smith and Glass have worked together to curate a projected collage of images, paintings and photographs of Allen Ginsberg, illustrating the complete depth of the poet and his profound reach beyond the words that pulse through the evening.

Run Time: Approx. 90 Minutes. No Intermission.

Major support provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The Reed Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo, the New York State Legislature, and The Amphion Foundation, Inc. and the Rodgers & Hammerstein Foundation.
