of Philadelphia
Born in the early 1960s in the underground scene in San
Francisco and New York, minimalism and its offshoots (post-minimalism,
totalism) have become wildly popular forms of new classical
music. The PRISM Quartet performs music by two of its originators
and long-time champions, Terry Riley and Philip Glass, along
with composers deeply influenced by their work, including
John Adams, Michael Torke, and Matt Johns, winner of the
2011 PRISM Quartet/Walden School Commissioning Award.
