An innovative percussion ensemble and renowned drummer team up to celebrate Philip Glass’ 90th birthday. Known for pushing the genre “in new directions, blurring musical boundaries and beguiling new listeners” (NPR Music), Third Coast Percussion makes its Philadelphia debut alongside Glenn Kotche, composer and drummer of Wilco, hailed as one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time. A collective Penn Live Arts debut, these Grammy® Award-winners perform an exhilarating program including Glass’ Aguas da Amazonia and Steve Reich’s Music for Pieces of Wood, arranged for two drum sets, plus original compositions and more that expand the depth and musical possibilities of percussion.
