University of Chicago alumnus Philip Glass discusses how an early interest in music and his University education helped spark his illustrious career as a composer. A 1956 graduate of the College, Glass returned to UChicago in February 2016 for a three-day residency as a Presidential Arts Fellow, which included a master class with UChicago composition students, a public conversation with Professor Augusta Read Thomas at the Logan Center for the Arts, and a University of Chicago Presents concert at Mandel Hall of his piano etudes.
