Philip glass - Satyagraha.

The New York City Opera, Orchestra and Chorus | Christopher Keene, dir

Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American classical music composer. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the late-20th century and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein).

Glass is a prolific composer: he has written works for his own musical group which he founded, the Philip Glass Ensemble (of which he still performs on keyboards), operas, music-theatre works, eight symphonies, eight concertos, solo works, string quartets, and film scores, and has been nominated for three Academy Awards. Glass counts many visual artists, writers, musicians, and directors among his friends, including Richard Serra, Chuck Close, Doris Lessing, Allen Ginsberg, Errol Morris, Robert Wilson, JoAnne Akalaitis, John Moran, Godfrey Reggio, Ravi Shankar, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon, David Byrne, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Roberto Carnevale, Patti Smith, the conductor Dennis Russell Davies, and electronic musician Aphex Twin, who have all collaborated with him. Among recent collaborators are Glass's fellow New Yorker Woody Allen, and poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen.

He describes himself as "a Jewish-Taoist-Hindu-Toltec-Buddhist", and a supporter of the Tibetan cause. In 1987 he co-founded the Tibet House with Columbia University professor Robert Thurman and the actor Richard Gere.

He has four children: two, Zachary (b. 1971) and Juliet (b. 1968) with his first wife, theater director JoAnne Akalaitis (m. 1965, div. 1980); and two, Marlowe and Cameron with his fourth wife, Holly Critchlow (separated). Since 2005, he has been romantically involved with cellist Wendy Sutter (2005-present).[6] Glass lives in New York and in Nova Scotia. He is the first cousin once removed of Ira Glass, host of the nationally syndicated radio show This American Life. Philip Glass's father is Ira Glass's great uncle.
