Right? I was there to write mostly about Gil Shaham in the Saint-Saëns VC No. 3, and further excited to hear both Pohjola's Daughter and The Pines of Rome (the latter a fave from teenage years), but the Meredith was an unexpected surprise.

Last night, conductor Dalia Stasevska opened her stand with The Philadelphia Orchestra with NAUTILUS by Anna Meredith (new to me), who wrote it in 2011 using only electronics. Stasevska asked her to orchestrate it in 2021, and I found it quite appealing as a concert-opening fanfare

Leuven might be the best cycling city you’ve never heard of. 37% of trips are by bike; not by accident, but by years of rethinking streets, reducing car dominance and recirculating traffic. While the large capitals attract most headlines, Leuven is another example of a small city making big moves.

I'm a huge fan of Ortiz's music (which I know is increasingly the default position.) So happy to see her career absolutely blowing up over the last five years or so.

Can't blame you! Great music, really happy for her. Glad this concert is available on demand; will likely revisit. (The Prokofiev is an all-time fave, too.)

Yes, totally agree. I watched the livestream last February, and was really happy to revisit it just now (a bit serendipitously). Great piece, fab performance.

It bears repeating: reading with your child is one of the world’s greatest and freely enjoyed pleasures. If you’re not prepared to do that as a parent, even a little bit, that saddens me. Let’s hear some stories of reading with your kids instead of getting mad at the absurd AI engineer.
