Programme Note

Pianist Bruce Levingston performs A Musical Portrait of Chuck Close, a new 15-minute solo piano work by Philip Glass written for Bruce Levingston.

The culmination of many years of friendship between two of the most important artists of our time, this composition serves as a tribute to the profound influence Glass and Close have had upon one another's work as well as upon generations of other musicians and artists.

The concert will be in conjunction with the museum's exhibit of Chuck Close's self-portraits.
