Happy 75th birthday to composer and UChicago alumnus Philip Glass (AB ‘56, who studied, surprisingly, math and philosophy in the College). Here’s the first movement of his String Quartet No. 5, performed by the Kronos String Quartet.
If you’re not a huge contemporary music nerd (and that’s totally OK, I think I may be the only person that is totally excited about this) you may remember his music from the Oscar-winning movie The Hours or from [everyone’s favorite AP Environmental Science substitute-teacher-day film] Koyaanisqatsi.
