National Symphony Orchestra: Philip Glass??? ???Lincoln??? Dalene plays Barber

Commissioned to honor Abraham Lincoln, the symphony is based on Lincoln’s 1838 Lyceum Address, which warns of the dangers of mob rule and threats to democratic institutions.

A Philip Glass show is an immersive, hypnotic experience defined by minimalist classical music. Performances often feature driving rhythmic pulses, cycling melodies, and additive processes where simple figures gradually expand or contract.
