Episode 19 – Yuan-Qing Yu and Pavel Šporcl / Alla Zingarese

Grammy Award-winning Third Coast Percussion (TCP), praised by NPR for championing “borderless music” and “blurring musical boundaries,” celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025 with Standard Stoppages, an album that explores how time can be stretched, manipulated, played with, and reimagined.

Dance of the Night Sky, Black Oak Ensemble‘s third album for Cedille, expands the boundaries of string trio repertoire by offering listeners a vibrant collection of contemporary works including four world-premiere recordings, all by British women composers.

In celebration of our 5/25 release of the Black Oak Ensemble‘s third album, Dance of the Night Sky, featuring works by eight living British women composers (including four world premieres), a playlist highlighting English composers in the Cedille catalog. We’ll add tracks from the new album when it comes out on 5/9.
