OSM Éclaté – Travels with Philip Glass on medici.tv and on ICIMusique.ca 2

Philip Glass ranks with the most important artists of our time. Whether through that composer’s hypnotizing

minimalist approach and his fascination for world music or also through the eyes of Paul Dukas and the Iranian-

born Canadian composer Kiya Tabassian, the OSM and Kent Nagano will transport you, for one very unusual

evening, to the heart of a world inspired by the Orient. Travels that promise to be enthralling!

In association with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and in connection with the exhibit Marvels and Mirages

of Orientalism: From Spain to Morocco, Benjamin-Constant in His Time.

It will be recalled that medici.tv is an international Web platform offering a huge catalogue of classical music

online and broadcasting concerts from the greatest orchestras, festivals and events and contemporary classical

artists.
