It’s been really hard finding things to be excited about lately, but finding out that I get to be a part of this alongside so many INCREDIBLE creators feels 🥰😊! It’s been cooking since November and it is especially important rn. Tysm @NewMusicUSA let’s make some waves ✊🏾⚡️
Kronos’ #AOD🎧 A 2019 Grammy Winner inspired by the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy in NYC in 2012. Described as “part string quartet, part radio play, part sound installation,” LANDFALL is a powerful rendering of the aftermath of the catastrophic event.
Kronos' recording of @SteveReich's "WTC 9/11" is included on this list of "pieces of classical music that are a culmination of a moment in time that illustrate the resilience of the human spirit and often provide a beacon of hope for a better tomorrow." https://t.co/unJsxxFbgk

Going down a bit of a #JohnPrine rabbit hole these days for obvious reasons. His music is so touching, funny, human, smart and it’s some of the most enjoyable music I’ve listened to in a long time. Sorry it took me so long. #musicdiscovery#JohnPrineRIP https://t.co/cgHmnU3KDm
Today’s #GlassMinute, Philip Glass reengages with the table top (acoustic version) for the first time since his "1+1 for solo amplified table top” from 1967
Yes, shameful. Should have gone to Boeing, American Airlines, Trump hotels, CEO pay. The arts & public radio/tv are such a waste of money. Bunch of snowflakes.
