Stanford Live launched its fifth season at Bing with a whirlwind weekend of back-to-back events. First was composer Philip Glass—joined by Anton Batagov, Sarah Cahill, Aaron Diehl, and Jenny Lin—kicking things off with a powerhouse performance of his complete Piano Études. Then followed Wynton Marsalis, who brought down the house with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. And finally, the great Cuban diva Omara Portuondo celebrated her 85th birthday and 70th anniversary of performing.
