Description: It really is his birthday! Philip Glass was born on January 31 -- 75 years ago -- and the American Composers Orchestra commemorates the occasion with the US premiere of his newest symphony. It's a genre that Glass has been focusing on since 1992, when he completed his "Low" Symphony based on the 1977 David Bowie album.

Venue Description: Carnegie Hall, renowned universally as one of the most prestigious venues in the US for classical and popular music, distinguished by its beauty, history and majestic acoustics, brings extraordinary music and musicians to its three stages year-round. In addition to hosting classical music and symphony performances, vocal recitals, music festivals, and multicultural world music, Carnegie Hall provides education programs and fosters the future of music through the cultivation of new works, artists, and audiences.
