Glassworks is about as populist as Philip Glass gets. Composed specifically to introduce the minimalist artist to a wider audience, the piece follows more classical cues than much of Glass' other work. If you're looking for an introduction to what can be a tricky-to-parse legend, tonight's performance by NYC ensemble Signal is a good bet.

(Le) Poisson Rouge says…

Signal is a large ensemble dedicated to performing the music of our time with energy, virtuosity, and passion. Its members include some of most gifted and innovative young musicians working in New York. Signal performs under the musical direction of Brad Lubman, who founded the group along with cellist and co-artistic director Lauren Radnofsky. Lubman, one of the premier conductors of new music, has worked closely with some of greatest composers of contemporary concert music – among them Berio, Boulez, Reich, Wuorinen, and Lachenmann – and has appeared with some of the world’s most illustrious orchestras and new music ensembles.
