For Philip Glass’s 90th anniversary, Manchester Collective give their unconventional take on the musical icon – by pairing him with an artist unafraid of big metal and classical sounds.

Encounter the end and beginning of his 20th-century quartets, from early dissonance to later musical freedom and his trademark lyrical repetition. His music is flanked by Rylan Gleave, whose pieces bring a dark, imaginative take on an ancient prayer, alongside a drone-drenched new work for string quartet and voice.
