| 14-May-2013 St George's Bristol | An evening to remember at St George's Bristol: Philip Glass at the piano |
 From the moment I found out that Philip Glass was going to be playing at St George’s Bristol for his only completely solo performance in Britain this year, I knew it was bound to be a special event. I arrived at the venue to see people waiting patiently and hoping for returns at the box office – the hall was packed to maximum capacity with extra seating at the back. The stage setting was simple, and consisted of purple uplighting, a grand piano, a stool and a microphone. This more casual concert setting allowed for a more genuine approach to listening to Glass’ music.

| 19-Apr-2013 St George's Bristol | The Smith Quartet play Philip Glass at St George's Bristol |
 Five string quartets performed by four musicians – each musician with an intricate understanding of the world of new music. The Smith Quartet are well established as being the modern music quartet to hear in the United Kingdom – having commissioned over 200 new works and working with the likes of Reich, Nyman and Glass – if you are a fan of minimalism. This concert embraced Philip Glass’ development in compositional style, from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s, through the medium of string quartets.

| 12-Oct-2012 St John's Smith Square | Transparent Glass: The Smith Quartet at St John's Smith Square |
 Bathed in a wash of soft blue light, St John’s Smith Square was home to a remarkable concert on Friday night with the Smith Quartet presenting all five of Philip Glass’ string quartets. The performance, played with the sensitivity of real experts in this repertoire, provided an insightful and absorbing overview to the many different sides of Glass.
