About this event

The Philip Glass Ensemble and close Philip Glass associate Michael Riesman partner with the NSO for the Irish premiere of a compelling new orchestral score from Glass’s stunning soundtrack for Godfrey Reggio’s 2002 film, Naqoyqatsi (‘life as war’).

Emotive and romantic, it’s also a scorching wake-up call to the mounting threat to the environment. The prominent cello at its heart celebrates humanity’s vitality and suggests that all might not yet be lost.
