Philip Glass and Michael Nyman will be celebrated with Lifetime Achievement Awards during Film Fest Gent’s Minimalism in Motion concert, closing the 25th World Soundtrack Awards.
Glass was initially renowned for his work for opera and his symphonies, but he has made an equally impressive contribution to film music, with a rich oeuvre of film scores that include Koyaanisqatsi, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, The Truman Show, Kundun, The Hours and Notes on a Scandal.
With a distinguished career as a composer, librettist, critic, and musicologist, Nyman is best known to film audiences for his unforgettable scores for The Piano, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, and Gattaca.
