Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra

The Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra is a double timpani concerto written by Philip Glass in 2000. It is paired with the Cello Concerto on Vol. I of Glass' Concerto Project, a set of six concerti written by the composer. It was written for Jonathan Haas and later recorded by Evelyn Glennie, (both of whom are well-established timpanists), and was premiered by Haas with the American Symphony Orchestra in Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, conducted by Leon Botstein.
