05.14: Philip Glass in Conversation with Christopher Mattaliano

2015-04-15 00:04:31| Powells Books Events Calendar

A world-renowned composer of symphonies, operas, and film scores, Philip Glass has, almost single-handedly, crafted the dominant sound of late-20th-century classical music. Yet in his long-awaited memoir, Words Without Music (Liveright), he creates an entirely new and unexpected voice, that of a born storyteller and an acutely insightful chronicler, whose behind-the-scenes recollections allow readers to experience those moments of creative fusion when life so magically merged with art. Glass will be joined in conversation by Christopher Mattaliano, general director of Portland Opera. Please note: Tickets for this event, $39.95, include admission and a copy of Words Without Music and are available at the Portland'5 Centers for the Arts box office, all TicketsWest outlets, online at Portland5.com, or by phone at 800.273.1530. Books will be distributed at the event.
