Philip Glass is one of the most prolific and distinguished composers of the 20th Century. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and scored dozens of operas, films and plays, and released symphonic compositions and solo work. His work is frequently characterised by repetitive and minimalistic structures. One of his best works is a five-hour opera about Albert Einstein, named Einstein On The Beach (1979). He is also well-known for composing the soundtrack to films such as Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, The Truman Show, Kundun (directed by Martin Scorsese), The Hours, Secret Window, Notes On A Scandal and The Illusionist. He won a Golden Globe for The Truman Show soundtrack.
Currently, Glass is working on music for two symphonies, an opera and two plays.
