* Estimated price converted from UK retail price
Orbit is a work composed by acclaimed minimalist composer Philip Glass for Solo Cello. Orbit was commissioned by Damian Woetzel and premiered on the 2nd of April 2013, in a performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma and dancer Lil Buck at Le Poisson Rouge in New York.
The performance was a celebration of the collaboration between an incredible young dancer, an unbelievable cellist and one of the most accomplished composers of the modern day. With a softly-evolving melody that begins as a basic pattern before turning back on itself and transforming, Orbit is the perfect soundtrack to a marriage of virtuoso musicianship, expressive dance and achingly tender solo instrumental composition.
