American composer and musician, Philip Glass, was born on January 31, 1937 in Baltimore, Maryland. He studied music with notable figures such as Vincent Pershichetti, Darius Milhaud, and Nadia Boulanger. Glass's perspective on composition changed after collaborating with Ravi Shankar in 1966. In 1968, he founded the Philip Glass Ensemble to perform his own music and later started Chatham Square Production in 1971 to release his work.
Throughout his career, Glass has made significant contributions to the world of contemporary classical music. His unique style blends elements of minimalism with complex rhythmic patterns and repetitive structures. With a prolific output spanning across various genres including opera, film scores, symphonies, and chamber music, Glass has established himself as one of the most influential composers of our time.
