Einaudi meets Glass

Ludovico Einaudi Seven Days Walking
Philip Glass Violin Concerto No.1

Roger Huckle violin

The esteemed composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi took inspiration from winter hiking in the Italian Alps to create the beautiful, elegant and evocative music of Seven Days Walking. It is paired with a special arrangement of Philip Glass’s Violin Concerto, for strings, harp and percussion. Penned for his father, the 1987 work is one of Glass’s most popular. It builds slowly to the final movement, rising at a relentless pace and, just as it is about to peak, circles back to where the concerto began.

Pre-concert talk with Steve Clarke begins at 6.45pm. Doors open at 6.15pm for the talk and at 7.15pm for the concert only.
