Danae Dörken / Pascal Schumacher

Homage to a Grand Master of Minimalism

For his new project »GLASS for TWO«, Luxembourg vibraphonist Pascal Schumacher has taken an in-depth look at one of the most successful composers of our time – Philip Glass. The American composer is regarded as one of the most important representatives of minimal music. A musical style characterised by clear tonal structures, repetitive patterns and a reduction of musical means. Philip Glass’ music also harbours a wide range of influences, from Indian music, classical and avant-garde to jazz and even pop. His oeuvre includes numerous operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber and film music. With »GLASS for TWO«, Pascal Schumacher shows the many facets of this exciting composer. The renowned vibraphonist will be supported by the German-Greek pianist Danae Dörken. Together they will present works from various phases of Philip Glass’ life.
