The champagne may be flat but we're still riding the celebratory wave of birthday boy Philip Glass's 75th by exploring the fertile genre of post-minimalism that he helped inspire. Tune in this week at 11 am and pm for reworkings, reinventions and revampings of Glass-brand minimalism.

There will be no shortage of Philip Glass news in 2012, as the composer turns 75. This week’s Cued Up features in-concert recordings of Glass’s work taken from the last two years.

This Sunday at 2 p.m., Cued Up presents the last concert of the 2011 MATA Festival, which held three evenings of adventurous music by a bevy of youthful voices this past May. Its closing night offers a program or world premieres by Ryan Carter and the tag-team of Brad Balliett and Elliot Cole, and US premieres by Marko Nikodijevic and Remmy Canedo.

This week, we visit the annual MATA festival. The opening night program features the New York-based ACME as well as L’arsenale, the Italian new music ensemble, for an evening of premieres and some unmistakably fresh music by eight composers from seven countries.

Cued Up unearths some delights from the Brooklyn-based experimental venue ISSUE Project Room this Sunday at 2 pm: works by Phoenix-based composer Jacob Adler, Philip Glass, Steve Reich and David Borden.

Summer Festivals are simply the best thing. My parents taught at BUTI when I was a little kid, and aside from two slightly horrifying summers at Girl Scout camp (where I did, incidentally, at least learn how to sail a Sunfish), I spent every summer of my life through age 24 at a music festival. It’s all about chamber music and picnicking, it really is.

Recorded at (Le) Poisson Rouge on June 12, this show features Brooklyn Rider opening for singer/songwriter Christina Courtin in a performance that celebrates an artistic friendship that began over a decade ago at Juilliard.

In this performance at (Le) Poisson Rouge, pianist Bruce Brubaker gives the New York premiere of a piece by Nico Muhly in addition to works by John Cage, Alvin Curran and Philip Glass.
