“Sometimes
I ask Philip what he’s hearing when he plays his own music, and he
points out things that I as a non-musician would never notice. It makes
me hear his work completely differently. It’s fascinating, and it’s a
side of him most people never get to see. We thought it would make for
an intimate and special sort of evening to have that conversation
onstage, with a piano, at St. Ann’s Warehouse.”
- Ira Glass on Philip Glass
“[Ira]
Glass is a journalist but also a storyteller who filters his interviews
and impressions through a distinctive literary imagination, an
eccentric intelligence, and a sympathetic heart.”
- New York Times
