About This Event

Conducted by Patrick Hahn, the evening features Symphony No. 4 “Heroes”, a sweeping orchestral re-imagining of Bowie and Brian Eno’s iconic 1970s album that drew its inspiration from the then-divided city of Berlin. The programme also includes the ritualistic Prelude from Akhnaten, Glass’s hypnotic opera inspired by the revolutionary Egyptian pharaoh, whose austere harmonies and slowly unfolding structures evoke timeless ceremony and transformation. Visual artist Tatsuru Arai enhances the experience with sumptuous generative visuals that transform Glass’s sound world into one of shimmering light and motion. The concession rate for this event extends to under-21s, Musicians Union (MU) Members and Sonica Artist Pass holders.
