Philip Glass is an influential American musician and composer, regarded as one of the most significant figures in late 20th-century music. Alongside contemporaries like Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young, he popularized minimal music. Although often categorized as a minimalist, Glass has distanced himself from this label in his later works, identifying instead as a composer creating 'music with repetitive structures.' His extensive oeuvre includes operas, musical theatre, symphonies, concertos, and film scores, three of which have received Academy Award nominations.
