Obra: Music in Twelve Parts

The Philip Glass Ensemble came to Colston Hall as the culminating event of Bristol’s Glassfest collaboration between the Colston Hall, St George’s and the Watershed cinema to present the première of Philip Glass Ensemble: Retrospective. 

Introduced by Southbank Centre’s artistic director, Jude Kelly, this latest instalment of The Rest is Noise festival felt like one of those events that rarely finds its way into the concert diary. A packed hall witnessed one of those feats of sheer physical, intellectual and emotional energy that you are unlikely to forget.
