Philip Glass’ Double Timpani Concerto

Thurs 28 May View Venues, Dates & Times

Presenting the audience with a rare chance to see the timpani up front and central, Philip Glass’ Concerto is arguably the stand-out offering in this two-hour celebration of dance, performed under the baton of Birmingham Opera Company’s music director, Alpesh Chauhan (pictured). 

Glass’ composition shares the programme with two other exceptional works: Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances - featuring depictions of rituals and traditions from Black communities - and Rachmaninoff’s Dances - the composer’s final composition... The concert is preceded by an in-conversation event with conductor Chauhan and timpani players Matthew Hardy and Toby Kearney.
