Bio
Philip Glass was born in Baltimore. He studied at the Peabody Institute and at the University of Chicago. He also attended Juilliard and briefly went to Paris to learn under Nadia Boulanger. He was drawn to other modern composers such as Cage, Feldman, and Boulez in Paris. He then traveled to India and encountered Ravi Shankar and the 14th Dalai Lama. Glass is one of the most influential 20th-century composers and the preeminent example of contemporary minimalism.
