About
Philip Glass conceived The Complete Piano Etudes as a set of twenty works for solo piano in order to expand his piano technique. In the 1990s, Glass composed sixteen of the etudes with each taking a unique approach to the instrument. After a decade, the final four piano etudes were commissioned in celebration of Glass’s 75th birthday and premiered in Perth, Australia in 2013. Glass and international guest pianists Vicky Chow (USA/Canada), Jenny Lin (USA), Jónas Sen (Iceland), and Madeline Hildebrand (Winnipeg) will perform The Complete Piano Etudes in an evening of master piano works for the 21st century.
