Sharing at last this John Luther Adams Ten Thousand Birds video, which @paulmelnikow and I shot in the eerily quiet, early days of the pandemic w @AlarmWillSound. It’s about yearning for nature and far-away friends. Made at home in Bkln with a lot of love. youtu.be/NEsxKxGSkg4

I wrote about Julius Eastman, Cecily Brown, & ambivalence as a discipline we should cultivate. Also, & relatedly: I really liked Everything Everywhere All at Once. I think it’s great if you didn’t. garthgreenwell.substack.com/p/passionate-a…

“Shchedryk / Carol of the Bells” is the subject of an NYT article! Hear composer John Orfe’s 2022 arrangement for ensemble Alarm Will Sound, which sets “Shchedryk” as a battle hymn. Available at Alarmwillsound.com/support
New York Times Arts@nytimesarts

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Andra Day, Barenaked Ladies, LeAnn Rimes, Destiny’s Child and Lindsey Stirling have all released takes on “Carol of the Bells.” The song, first performed in the United States a century ago, had a very different start in Ukraine. nyti.ms/3WyJrfm
