Then, you are in luck.
There is a festival celebrating Philip Glass coming up. See: http://www.philipglassfestival.com/
These two events appearing to be an outstanding opportunity:
Coincidences
We are proud to announce our Coincidences. This is your chance to become an insider into the upcoming season. Explore Medea and other women of rage with Gregorio Luke at MOLAA.
Investigate Pharaoh Akhnaten with the Egyptologists of UCLA. Discover the brilliance of composers Philip Glass and David Lang in person. Look behind the curtains of life in Moscow then and now.
And as always: expect the unexpected!
Akhnaten and His World
Mar 5 Sat.
UCLA, LENART AUDITORIUM | North campus
Los Angeles [Get Directions]
2PM - 4:15PM
in collaboration with UCLA Egyptology
Monotheism began in Egypt? Yes, it began with the reign of the "heretic" Pharaoh Akhnaten. Learn how he attempted to change the beliefs of his time in religion, politics, and art; the dire consequences of his actions; and, after his death, how his successor, King Tutankhamun, returned Egypt to its traditional ways. Why did Egypt move back from the advances of Akhnaten and follow the "boy" King? Find out the answer and more at this afternoon's lecture given by faculty and graduate students of UCLA Egyptology.
2.00 – 2.30 Who was Akhnaten? Prof. Kara Cooney
2:30 – 3:00 Discovering Akhnaten Prof. Willeke Wendrich
