The music of minimalist pioneer Philip Glass is like a meditation on sound, based on the repetition of simple musical elements and their gradual transformation. This time, Glass’s works are brought to life in an unexpected sound, performed by as many as eight French bagpipe players, brought together by the exceptional performer and artistic director of the ensemble Erwan Keravec.

“8 sonneurs pour Philip Glass is a unique project in which the classical minimalist works of Glass merge with the rich and expressive sound palette of traditional Breton bagpipes. The concert programme features four legendary works by Glass, composed in 1969. Interpreted by the bagpipe ensemble, they become a new sonic world where old tradition meets contemporary musical ideas.
