“HEROES” AND LOW SYMPHONIES BY PHILIP GLASS FROM THE MUSIC OF DAVID BOWIE AND BRIAN ENO

15 YEARS after the Berlin Trilogy, influential composer PHILIP GLASS turned to Bowie and Eno’s stark soundscapes to create two seminal classical works – the Low and “Heroes” symphonies.

The continuing influence of these works has secured their stature as part of the new “classics” of our time.

Presented at Hamer Hall and Sydney State Theatre is that intense symphonic journey, which takes the musical essence of Bowie and Eno’s creations and re-expresses them through Glass’s unmistakeable and hypnotic brand of alchemy, setting the ghosts of the original works in poetic, shining relief, through the filter of another, equally iconoclastic and unique genius.

TONIGHT 40TH ANNIVERSARY

Following the massive sales of LET'S DANCE, Bowie said he wanted to "go further" with his next record, aiming to explore R&B, funk and reggae music.

Recording of the new album began in May 1984 at Le Studio in Quebec, Canada.

Despite relying heavily on cover songs, TONIGHT was another sales success. It bore the transatlantic top 10 hit BLUE JEAN, itself the inspiration for the Julien Temple-directed short film Jazzin' for Blue Jean, in which Bowie played the dual roles of romantic protagonist Vic and arrogant rock star Screaming Lord Byron.

Blue Jean was released Sept 10 and the album Sept 24. The following year, LOVING THE ALIEN was released as a single.
