#2802: Minimalist Music Theatre
Hear some music theatre pieces on this New Sounds show. Listen to Philip Glass 's recent release "Waiting for the Barbarians," adapted from the novel by the South African writer and Nobel Prize Winner John Coetzee.
Also, there's music by Paul Bailey - his post-minimalist music theatre piece "Retrace our Steps." He describes it as a four act vocal/instrumental spectacle based on texts by Gertrude Stein, Guy Debord and Jenny Bitner. The "alt-classical garage band" Paul Bailey Ensemble performs the work. And more.
