Leo Sowerby: An American Playlist

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.

For the month in which summer begins, a playlist of pieces about the season and the things we associate with it: sun, heat, birds, bees, butterflies, flowers, other greenery, fireworks, the seashore, etc.
