Composer Philip Glass will be inducted into the Cincinnati-based American Classical Music Hall of Fame in a special ceremony Saturday evening, Oct. 1. That coincides with Mobile Symphony Orchestra’s performance of the Glass Violin Concerto featuring 25-year-old Bulgarian violinist Bella Hristova.

Orchestras worldwide are celebrating the composer’s 75th year. Glass will present the world premiere of his Symphony No. 9 by Bruckner Orchestra Linz in Austria before the symphony’s New York City premiere at Carnegie Hall on Glass’s 75th birthday, Jan. 31, 2012.

Theatermania lists other highlights as: a reprise of his opera “Satyagraha” at Metropolitan Opera, November 4 to December 1, 2011; the previously announced international tour of “Einstein on the Beach”; the first fully staged North American performance of the opera “Kepler” at Spoletto Festival USA in June 2012 in Charleston, S.C.; and the world premiere of “The Perfect American,” a new opera about the death of Walt Disney (January 2013).

Glass is also working on a memoir to be published in 2012.
