The American violinist William Hagen, who won third prize in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2015, made his debut with Amsterdam Sinfonietta in Philip Glass’s Second Violin Concerto The American Four Seasons and received standing ovations after Philip Glass in India. Tickets are free.
For The American Four Seasons, Philip Glass was inspired by Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Additionally, his music is strongly influenced by the repetitive structure of traditional Indian music. Jonny Greenwood, known as the guitarist of Radiohead, was also inspired by Indian music for his piece Water. This work is framed by Indian ragas sung by the Dutch-Indian singer Madhu Lalbahadoersing, representing the different seasons of the year.
