Philip Glass

About the artist

Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937) is an American composer. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the late 20th century. Glass's work has been described as minimal music, having similar qualities to other "minimalist" composers such as La Monte Young, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley. A graduate of Juilliard, Glass describes himself as a composer of "music with repetitive structures", which he has helped evolve stylistically.
