Philip Glass

Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American composer and pianist. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. Glass's work has been associated with minimalism, being built up from repetitive phrases and shifting layers. He described himself as a composer of "music with repetitive structures", which he has helped to evolve stylistically.

Glass founded the Philip Glass Ensemble in 1968. He has written 15 operas, numerous chamber operas and musical theatre works, 14 symphonies, 12 concertos, nine string quartets, various other chamber music pieces, and many film scores. He has received nominations for four Grammy Awards, including two for Best Contemporary Classical Composition for ''Satyagraha'' (1987) and ''String Quartet No. 2'' (1988). He has received three Academy Award for Best Original Score nominations for Martin Scorsese's ''Kundun'' (1997), Stephen Daldry's ''The Hours'' (2002), and Richard Eyre's ''Notes on a Scandal'' (2006). He also composed the scores for ''Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters'' (1985), ''Hamburger Hill'' (1987), ''The Thin Blue Line'' (1988), ''Candyman'' (1992), ''The Truman Show'' (1998), and ''The Illusionist'' (2006).

Glass is known for composing the operas ''Einstein on the Beach'' (1976), ''Satyagraha'' (1980), ''Akhnaten'' (1983), ''The Voyage'' (1992), and ''The Perfect American'' (2013). He also wrote the scores for Broadway productions such as the revivals of ''The Elephant Man'' (2002), ''The Crucible'' (2016), and ''King Lear'' (2019). For the latter he won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music in a Play.

Glass has received many accolades, including a BAFTA Award, a Drama Desk Award, and a Golden Globe Award, as well as nominations for three Academy Awards, four Grammy Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award. He has also received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1995, the National Medal of Arts in 2010, the Kennedy Center Honors in 2018, and the Grammy Trustees Award in 2020. Provided by Wikipedia
