    In Depth Conversation with the Philip Glass Ensemble's Michael Riesman | Ep 7

    With Video Here: https://youtu.be/2dKQdAB36qM Michael Riesman is the musical director and conductor of The Philip Glass Ensemble. In this episode, Michael talks about his work from starting out as a keyboardist in the Philip Glass Ensemble, to conducting the chorus in the opera 'Einstein on The Beach,' in 1976 to conducting the many film scores for filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Godfrey Reggio, and Errol Morris. Philip Glass is one of the most surprising composers of the late 20th and early 21st century in that his work deals with a great amount of repetition which was very different for the time during the 1970s and 1980s. Michael Riesman is one of the first people to ever perform Glass' music and in return has a very prestigious role in the Philip Glass enterprise. We talk about this progression from the minimalistic and repetitious 'Music in Twelve Parts' to the opera 'Einstein on The Beach' to the classical approach for the film 'Koyaanisqatsi'.
