Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

The Philip Glass ensemble returns to Portland for Powaqqatsi, an artful cinematic experience that speaks to the impact of modernization and industrialization on traditional ways of living. Seen through the lens of communities across the globe, the narrative is amplified by compositions from Philip Glass that feature native, classical, and electronic instruments. Enjoyed alone or as the second in the Quatsi series, you won’t want to miss this thought-provoking performance from The Philip Glass Ensemble and conductor Michael Riesman.
