Powaqqatsi - The Philip Glass Ensemble

The Philip Glass Ensemble will perform music from Powaqqatsi, the second film in Godfrey Reggio's Qatsi trilogy. This is a rare opportunity to hear Glass’s score live, presented by the ensemble that premiered it. Expect the intricate, hypnotic patterns and evolving textures characteristic of his minimalist work, interpreted by the musicians who helped define the sound. This special concert takes place on Friday, November 6, 2026, at Benaroya Hall's Taper Auditorium in Seattle. The venue is known for its acoustics, making it well-suited for a performance of this caliber. Those interested in contemporary classical music, film scores, and the work of Philip Glass will find this evening particularly compelling.
