Philip Glass' "Low Symphony" is based on the 1977 album Low by Brian Eno and David Bowie. Glass took three themes from the record and combined them with his own music to create the three movements of the Symphony.
This concert marked the CPO's first co-production with One Yellow Rabbit's High Performance Rodeo. Philip Glass was artist in residence at the Rodeo.
