The Hallé Presents Philip Glass: Angélique Kidjo Ifé Songs
Over the course of three days, in collaboration with the RNCM, the Hallé brings you a festival celebrating his best-loved works.
Days and Nights in Rocinha is a thrilling tribute to the Rio de Janeiro neighbourhood. In true Glass style, it begins softly, slowly building and developing with increasingly complex percussive rhythms until it reaches a glorious climax.
Glass’s Eleventh Symphony – sometimes reflective, sometimes fizzing with rhythmic textures, always fascinating – closes the programme.
