Ny Premier Of Philip Glass' Heroes Symphony

We can hear “Heroes”, just for two nights…

Bumpershine.com has posted details of the 2011 Wordless Music Series in New York which includes two performances in May of Philip Glass‘s Symphony No. 4, “Heroes”.

I’m sure you’re all familiar with the recorded version which was released in 1997, that’s the original press advert above. Anyway, here are the details from Bumpershine.com as I don’t seem able to get a connection to wordlessmusic.org right now…
