Serbian pianist Branka Parlic, one of the world’s finest interpreters of the music of minimalist and post-minimalist composers from the second half of the 20th century (and early 21st century), performs a concert of piano music by Philip Glass.
The concert will include selections from Glass’s 20 Piano Etudes, a work that Branka premiered, along with pianists Nada Kolundzija and Natasa Penezic, at the Self Portrait concert in Belgrade, Serbia in 2015.
The night also features Dreaming Awake, a piece that she performed in Belgrade in 2017 in honour of Glass’s 80th birthday, and Wichita Vortex Sutra, which will be performed along with actor Lee Burnitt’s narration of Allen Ginsberg’s anti-war poem.
