There are three of them year-olds...

John Adams turns eighty in 2027, Glass turns ninety, and Williams turns even ninety-five! The birthdays of these composers are celebrated worldwide, and the Netherlands Philharmonic is happy to join the party.

Minimal music by John Adams

The Harmonium for Choir and Orchestra is the orchestral work with which Adams achieved an international breakthrough in 1981. This composition for mixed choir and large symphony orchestra is written in a minimalist style, was commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony, and is dedicated to Edo de Waart, who conducted its world premiere. The Netherlands Philharmonic is performing The Harmonium for the first time, joined by the Studentenkoor Amsterdam and Toonkunstkoor Amsterdam.
