The last weekend in June isn’t loaded with a lot of new releases, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. Welcome to New In Music This Week: June 27th.
My top pick is:
CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL: DUNBAR/MOORE...
"Pastoral" by Pam Tanowitz and Caroline Shaw is one of this week's highlights.
7 New Releases and 2 Vinyl Re-issues to explore this week
From a Classical Pride concert to Rachmaninoff to the return of Black Movie Soundtrack
A rare performance of Ulysses Kay's opera "Frederick Douglass" by BMOP is one of our selections this week
Seven new albums to lift your spirits and quiet your soul.
"I'm really trying to like break down the rawness and the vulnerability level of me. I'm trying to find a way to be brave, to be courageous and in a world where the wrong move could change your whole trajectory."
The new musical "42 Balloons" opens this week at Chicago Shakespeare Theater
Two young jazz artists top this week's list with their great new albums
"I want to do this as long as i still love it. When I'm out there singing, it's just like flying. Seeing birds fly with such abandonment, that's really what I want to be doing as a singer."
