Blood Orange to Perform Alongside Philip Glass at The Kennedy Center in 2018

By Monique Melendez

Blood Orange a.k.a. Dev Hynes will join renowned composer Philip Glass on the Kennedy Center stage for a performance of Glass’ 2o Etudes. The etudes, composed by Glass over a 20-year span, will be performed by Hynes, Glass, and musicians Aaron Diehl, Jason Moran, and Jenny Lin. Hynes, a notable fan of Glass, interviewed the composer earlier this year for NPR and performed a cover of his “Metamorphosis Three” for SiriusXMU. Hynes himself has been preoccupied with the follow up to his 2016 LP Freetown Sound, which as of October was “78% done.”

Philip Glass’ 20 Etudes will take place on March 9, 2018. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on November 15.
