Johan Lenox has one of the more unusual resumes in the music world. He's probably best known as a producer, working with hip hop stars like Travis Scott and Big Sean. But he's also a singer, pianist, and a composer of contemporary classical music. He'll produce uncategorizable work with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Reid, write music for the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, and cover a Nirvana song, all as part of his omnivorous musical diet. Lenox's 2023 release is called Johan's Childhood Chamber Nostalgia Album, which leans toward ambient music with an unfocused childlike spirit. Johan Lenox and a small chamber music trio play in-studio.  Set list: "Hopes and Dreams", "Boy With Blurry Eyes", "When I Was Your Age"

In collaboration with the University of Auckland, Catherine and Jesse bring us an exciting programme which comprises four-hand piano works and solo performances, ranging from the mid-eighteenth century to the twentieth century.  As a duet, they present Mozart's Sonata in D major K.381. Composed in the Galant style, it features elegant melodies, simplicity, and clarity. They will also play Mendelssohn's Andante and Allegro Brillante, salon music graced with polished elegance and craftsmanship. This duet is almost never played in the piano four-hands repertoire - a hidden gem for sure! The concert will also explore solo performances, including Ravel's Ondine, Prokofiev's Piano Sonata No. 7... and more! Catherine and Jesse are both students from the University of Auckland. Jesse is currently under the tutelage of Sarah Watkins and Bryan Sayer, and Catherine is studying under Richard Liu.

In Louisiana, all eyes are on the saltwater wedge slowly moving up the Mississippi River, threatening the drinking water supplies for much of the southeastern part of the state. Salt water is unsafe to drink, but it  also poses an insidious risk to the region's water infrastructure, where it could linger in lead pipes.  Federal, state and local officials are implementing several solutions to prevent the briny water from encroaching on local drinking supplies and causing harm to the infrastructure – and in the meantime, health officials have plans to implement more frequent testing of water supplies.   Louisiana state health officer Dr. Joseph Kanter joins us to discuss the health risks of saltwater exposure and how Louisianans can stay safe and prepared. Two French photographers – Audoin de Vergnette and Wayan Barre – spent the summer documenting life down the bayou in Terrebonne Parish. They traveled throughout the area, documenting Indigenous French culture and learning how coastal communities are confronting climate change.  They join us for more on their experience within the community and the photos they took, which will be on display at Pointe-aux-Chenes' new elementary school starting this week.  The Crescent City Chamber Music Festival is gearing up for its eighth season with seven free concerts across New Orleans. Festival director, violist and native New Orleanian Luke Fleming joins us to talk about what it's been like to bring string instrumentalists from around the world to perform in his hometown.

The trio's new album is called Polarity, and it's a collection of works specifically written for the Pathos Trio by several composers - drummer/composer Ian Chang of Son Lux; percussionist and member of the International Contemporary Ensemble Clara Warnaar; and digital and electronic composer Phong Tran among them - with nods to alternative rock, progressive/black metal, minimalism, and electronic synthwave. The trio performs some of these newly-commissioned works, in-studio. Set list: "Mega Cicada" by Ian Chang; "Home/Gone" by Clara Warnaar; "Split" by Phong Tran

Frederick Septimus Kelly, born in Sydney in 1881, was on the way to becoming one of Australia's most important early composers when he was killed during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The three works recorded here – for the first time – underline just how grievous was that loss, not only for Australia but for the musical world more generally. Kelly's D minor Violin Sonata is an astonishingly assured work for a twenty-year-old student composer; his Serenade for flute and piano exudes good-natured charm; and the two surviving movements of his Piano Trio – which have a Brahmsian intensity – suggest that he would have been one of the major composers of the twentieth century.TracksViolin Sonata No. 1 in D minor (1901) (26:06) I. Adagio – Allegro vivace (10:33) II. Andantino (5:17) III. Allegro vivace (10:16) Serenade for Flute and Piano, Op. 7 (1911) (22:18) I. Prelude (3:16) II. Idyll (7:13) III. Minuet (2:11) IV. Air and Variations (6:24) V. Jig (3:14) Piano Trio (c. 1905?) (17:21) I. Lento (moderato) (12:27) II.

Seraph Brass is in its ninth season and began as a group dedicated to "elevating and showcasing the excellence of female brass players and highlighting musicians from marginalized groups both in personnel and in programming." It is a group consisting of five to six core artists, along with a group of guests who also perform with the group. My conversation today was with founder and trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden, trumpeter Raquel Samayoa, hornist Rachel Velvikis, trombonist Victoria Garcia, and tubist Christina Cutts Dougherty. It was very inspiring for me to speak with a group that is so dedicated to its ideals.We begin our conversation with an introduction of the players and what they do when they're not on stage with Seraph Brass.

DEVILDRIVER and COAL CHAMBER frontman Dez Fafara joins us on this week's Loaded Radio Podcast Dez Fafara is a renowned American vocalist and frontman, best known for his work with the California groove-metal band DEVILDRIVER and Nu-Metal stalwarts COAL CHAMBER. Born on May 12, 1966, in Santa Barbara, California, Fafara developed a passion for music from an early age. He grew up listening to various genres of music, including punk, rock, and metal, which greatly influenced his musical style. Fafara co-founded the band COAL CHAMBER in 1994, along with guitarist Miguel "Meegs" Rascón. Known for their distinct fusion of nu-metal, gothic, and alternative rock elements, COAL CHAMBER gained significant attention in the late '90s. Fafara's aggressive yet melodic vocals and captivating stage presence contributed to the band's success. They released three studio albums: "Coal Chamber" (1997), "Chamber Music" (1999), and "Dark Days" (2002) before taking an extended hiatus and returning with the 2015 LP "Rivals".  In 2002, Fafara formed DEVILDRIVER, a heavy metal band with a more aggressive and intense sound. Leading the group as the vocalist and primary songwriter, Fafara steered DEVILDRIVER towards a more straightforward and brutal approach to metal. The band's debut album, "Devildriver," was released in 2003 and received critical acclaim for its ferocity and uncompromising style. DEVILDRIVER has since released several successful albums, including "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand" (2005), "Pray for Villains" (2009), and "Trust No One" (2016), solidifying their place in the metal scene. Throughout his career, Fafara has collaborated with various artists and participated in numerous side projects, including collaborations with Ozzy Osbourne, Nikki Sixx, and SOULFLY. He has also been involved in other creative ventures outside of music, such as launching his own clothing line and promoting his tattoo-inspired artwork. Dez Fafara's contributions to the metal and rock genres, both as the frontman of COAL CHAMBER and DEVILDRIVER, have made him an influential figure in the music industry. His powerful and emotive vocal style, combined with his ability to connect with audiences through raw and honest lyrics, have garnered him a dedicated fan base worldwide. Fafara's relentless passion for music and his unwavering commitment to his craft continue to drive his artistic journey, cementing his status as a prominent figure in the metal community. On this week's edition of The Loaded Radio Podcast, Fafara discusses his upcoming autobiography, DEVILDRIVER's latest album "Dealing With Demons Vol. 2", the upcoming tour with CRADLE OF FILTH and the reuniting of COAL CHAMBER.

Tippet Rise Art Center has a jewel box of a concert hall: the Olivier Music Barn. Audiences love it, and so do all the world-class musicians who come to Tippet Rise each year. Two great chamber music ensembles – the Gryphon Trio and the Calidore String Quartet – performed Tippet Rise the same weekend in September 2022, and sat for interviews in front of their audiences. As the name suggests, “chamber music” was created for intimate performance spaces – in Baroque palaces. You may not think that sounds intimate, but Joseph Haydn composed his music for the room in a European palace that the engineering and design firm Arup used as the model for the Olivier Music Barn.

Ballaké Sissoko, Vincent Segal, Emile Parisien et Vincent Peirani sortent un album commun : Les Égarés. Entretien avec Vincent Segal et Vincent Peirani. Puis la #SessionLive s'adonnera à du groove afro-caribéen made in France !   Une kora, un violoncelle, un saxophone et un accordéon. Nous recevons 2 des 4 musiciens Vincent Segal et Vincent Peirani. Les Égarés est plus qu'un disque. C'est un espace de jeu, un lieu de vie musical, un asile poétique habité par deux binômes qui, depuis des années, excellent dans l'art de croiser les sons et de transcender les genres : Ballaké Sissoko (kora) et Vincent Segal (violoncelle) d'un côté, Vincent Peirani (accordéon) et Émile Parisien (saxophone) de l'autre. Avec ces magiciens-là, 2+2 ne fait plus 4, mais 1. Car c'est bien une unité d'esprit et une fluidité du son qu'inventent ensemble ces individualités bien trempées, méprisant toute compétition d'ego pour se mettre au service du bien musical commun. Ni jazz ni traditionnel, ni chambriste ni avant-gardiste, mais un peu de tout cela à la fois, Les Égarés est cet album où l'oreille est l'instrument-roi, où la virtuosité s'exprime dans l'art d'être complice, où le simple et grandiose désir d'écouter l'autre aboutit à la naissance d'un splendide chant à quatre voix. Tout part d'une rencontre au sommet – en haut d'une colline qui surplombe Lyon. Ce soir de juin 2019, dans le cadre du festival Les Nuits de Fourvière, on s'apprête à célébrer les quinze ans du label NØ FØRMAT, dans un bel écrin de pierres romaines à ciel ouvert. Pour l'occasion, Vincent Segal est le maître de cérémonie et tient salon (de musique), entouré de convives de choix : parmi eux figurent déjà Ballaké Sissoko, Vincent Peirani et Émile Parisien. Entre les participants, un pacte a été signé : aucune répétition ne doit précéder ce qui s'annonce comme un moment de création spontanée. Mais comment réfréner de tels inspirés, animés par le désir de converser en musique ? L'après-midi, sous une tonnelle qui les protège du cagnard, les voilà qui, pour la seule beauté du geste et la grandeur du plaisir, se mettent à jammer. Et la musique, alors, coule comme source, limpide et fraîche. C'est dans le souvenir de ce jaillissement qu'a germé l'idée de composer le quatuor des Égarés. Et c'est à cela qu'aura ressemblé l'enregistrement de l'album : un partage spontané des élans et des savoirs. Il n'y a qu'une promesse que ce disque n'a pas pu exaucer : celle, caressée un temps par Vincent Segal, d'enregistrer à Bamako chez son complice Ballaké, comme au temps de leur divin album Chamber Music. L'extrême tension qui règne au Mali a eu raison de ce rêve, et c'est finalement à Gap que, une semaine durant, les quatre musiciens ont installé leur atelier de création. Dehors, la météo était très instable. Dans le studio, elle a été au grand beau, tout de suite. Mais ce n'était pas le beau fixe pour autant : dès les premiers échanges, tout s'est mis en mouvement et en vibration. Normal : aucun de ces quatre affranchis n'aime être emprisonné – que ce soit dans un rôle ou dans un type de jeu ou de son auquel son instrument serait condamné. Dans sa besace, chacun a apporté une poignée de diamants bruts, qu'il a soumis au groupe. À l'épreuve du feu commun, dans le creuset naturel du live acoustique, ces gemmes ont pris forme neuve, se sont sublimés : ils ont très vite fourni la matière d'un authentique butin collectif. De l'or musical, fondu dans un singulier alliage de timbres, de touchers, de souffles et de phrasés, dont le motif à l'unisson qui ouvre l'album donne d'emblée la formule de base alchimique.Il y a ainsi Ta Nye et Banja, merveilles mandingues qui sont comme les bornes de départ et d'arrivée de la route tracée parcourue par Les Égarés : deux thèmes de kora que les contrechants et reprises des autres instruments enrobent et déplacent insensiblement, avec cet engagement dans la douceur, ce souci d'accompagner au plus juste qui est l'apanage des musiciens d'expérience – écoutez donc l'introduction follement aérienne que signe Émile Parisien sur Banja. Un parfum d'Arménie enrobe les premières mesures d'Izao, pièce qui glisse vers la Transylvanie via la Turquie, et semble orchestrer par endroits de troublantes noces entre kora et Bartok. Soutenu par une basse lancinante, Amenhotep enclenche une lente mais sûre spirale ascensionnelle, transe coltranienne que soulèvent les souffles croisés de l'accordéon et du sax. Autour du thème de Dou, les quatre hommes prennent le relais comme s'il s'agissait de garder un feu, d'entretenir la mémoire d'un blues ancestral en lui donnant l'enivrant balancement d'une berceuse. Tout en majesté et en mystère, Nomad's Sky s'ouvre comme une plante aux fragrances capiteuses, trouvant de quoi étourdir durablement les sens dans la nervure obstinée de la basse, jouée au cello, et le déploiement progressif des motifs instrumentaux. La Chanson des égarés déroule quant à elle une de ces mélodies irrésistiblement cadencées qu'on se fredonne intérieurement quand, comme Vincent Segal, « on marche sans savoir où l'on va, en se laissant aller au plaisir d'être paumé » – plaisir qui, à lui seul, résume la philosophie du disque. Les thèmes empruntés à des sources extérieures sont pareillement transcendés. Esperanza, standard de l'accordéoniste Marc Perrone, sonne comme une cumbia à la fois alerte et douce, sa mélodie qui passe de main en main tissant une étoffe que l'auditeur porte à même le cœur. Dans Time Bum, tiré du répertoire de Bumcello, c'est l'illusion d'entendre un combo de cuivres qui prend corps, big band au groove ultra-serré que la basse au cello ne fait que renforcer. Dans Orient Express, reprise haletante tiré du grand-œuvre de Joe Zawinul, immense dresseur de ponts entre Europe, Afrique et Orient, le quatuor, sans recours à l'électricité ni à un feu roulant de percussions, réussit à conserver l'ADN de l'original tout en recomposant totalement ses tissus, sa force vitale, son groove infectieux. Sans la moindre démonstration, les quatre complices réalisent ainsi toute une série de prouesses qui ne sont jamais affichées comme telles. Les Égarés est ce disque sans voix soliste qui, pourtant, ne cesse jamais de chanter. Ce disque sans batterie ni percussions qui, pourtant, ne cesse jamais de faire entendre une très humaine et très sensible pulsation. Ce disque aux échanges si harmonieux que, par séquences, l'oreille, saisie par quelques illusions auditives (n'y aurait-il pas ici un balafon, et là un harmonium ?), en arrive elle-même à se perdre voluptueusement, à ne plus distinguer qui fait quoi dans l'intime entrelacement des voix. Ce disque qui, tout en repoussant la banalité, ne cesse d'embrasser l'évidence, dans un art du décadrage amoureux et de la dérive volontaire dont l'élégance audacieuse renvoie à d'autres grands égarés comme Don Cherry ou encore les musiciens sans matricule du Penguin Cafe Orchestra. « Je n'ai jamais enregistré un disque dans une telle atmosphère, souligne Vincent Peirani. Aucun de nous n'a été dans la “perf”, si bien que la musique raconte beaucoup de choses sans jamais se la raconter. Aucun d'entre nous ne détenait la vérité : nous la trouvions ensemble. » Au passage, Les Égarés rappelle tout ce que l'esprit de concorde peut avoir de frondeur, et combien l'art de jouer en si belle intelligence peut engendrer une manière extrêmement subtile de mettre le feu aux poudres. Contrairement à une idée reçue un peu pénible, vivre en harmonie ne signifie pas s'astreindre fatalement à des compromis pénibles, consensus mous et autres lénifiantes routines : quand elle le veut, la paix déménage. Et avec ces quatre-là, elle le veut bien, elle le veut tout le temps. Dans Les Égarés, elle soulève même des montagnes, recomposant le paysage musical pour tirer des lignes de fuite d'une beauté inouïe.Titres joués- Izao, La chanson des égarés, Time Bum et Banja voir le clip. - Voir le clip Esperanza.► album Les Egarés  (No Format 2023).Concert France 2023 à venir12 juillet - Les Suds à Arles.Puis nous recevons le groupe Abajàde dans la #SessionLive pour présenter l'album « Latopa », voir le clip.Latopa déploie toute l'étendue d'un groove mystique élaboré entre les rues de La Havane et les clubs de Paris. En colorant les chants yoruba dédiés aux orishas des univers musicaux de ce tout nouveau collectif, Àbájade apporte ses touches de soul et de jazz pour un son original construit à huit. Un premier album éclatant ! L'album se nomme Latopa car il est dédié à l'orisha Elegua qui ouvre les chemins dans la tradition afro-cubaine de la Santeria. Divinité des carrefours, nous le sentons emblématique de notre musique par la diversité des routes musicales qui se croisent dans ce disque.  Il comprend 7 titres, mélangeant compositions originales et arrangements inédits sauce Àbájade pour une durée totale de 36 minutes. Pour être au plus proche de notre énergie sur scène et restituer l'aspect organique de notre musique, tout a été enregistré en live. Nous voulions également un son chaleureux et un peu vintage comme sur les mythiques albums des années 70. L'enregistrement, le mixage et le mastering ont été réalisés sur bande analogique avec des micros d'époque.  Le disque s'accompagne d'un univers graphique conçu par le street artist Gilbert Mazout, qui a réalisé une grande fresque murale au coeur du clip et de la pochette.  Après avoir exploré la musique du saxophoniste Miguel Zenon dans notre premier EP, nous tombons par hasard sur le disque Méta Méta du groupe anglais Timeline. C'est une révélation pour nous, car, à travers des arrangements aux grooves léchés, parvient à nos oreilles une musique qui ne nous quittera plus depuis : les chants sacrés de la santeria cubaine. Nous sommes immédiatement séduits par la beauté des mélodies, les polyrythmies des tambours batá qui les accompagnent et la dimension spirituelle des orishas.  Nous commençons à intégrer ces éléments à notre répertoire, et quelques mois plus tard nous voilà à Cuba pour participer aux cérémonies dont nous jouons la musique. Un nouveau chapitre s'ouvre alors pour nous, au rythme des aller-retours à la Havane. À travers les rites quotidiens, l'ambiance électrique des tambours et les rumbas dans la rue se nouent des liens d'amitié avec les musicien.ne.s qui font vivre les traditions afro-cubaines aujourd'hui.  C'est l'atmosphère spirituelle, l'inventivité rythmique et l'énergie intense des cérémonies que nous avons pu vivre à Cuba qu'il nous tenait à cœur de retranscrire de manière personnelle et originale. En 2022, 3 résidences de création en partenariat avec des salles de spectacles nous ont permis d'élaborer notre nouveau répertoire. Nous l'avons rôdé sur scène avec un bon paquet de concerts en Ile-de-France et en Provence, durant lesquels nous avons exploré nos compositions, toujours prêt.es à improviser ensemble de nouveaux virages. Nous avons aussi invité des musiciens incroyables, comme le percussionniste cubain Barbarito « Machito » Crespo. Notre premier album trouve un bel écho avec des dates à venir au festival Jazz à Vienne, à la Flèche d'Or, au Tamanoir, à la Dynamo... et une release party au Studio de l'Ermitage à Paris.  Titres interprétés au grand studio- Peze Café Live RFI- Lalubanche, extrait de l'album Latopa  - Obatala Live RFI.Line Up : Thomas Celnik, direction artistique, claviers & percussions ; Julien Catherine, batterie & percussions ; Cyprien Corgier, chant lead & percussions ; Syrielle Guignard, chant & percussions ; Waly Loume, multi percussions ; Hamza Touré, saxophone ténor, flûte & clarinette basse ; Antonin Pauquet, basse ; Sophye Soliveau, chant lead.Son : Benoît Letirant & Matthias Taylor.► album Latopa (InOuïe Distribution 2023). Concerts à venir- Mai 2023, à La Dynamo-Pantin- 7 juillet, Jazz à Vienne.(Rediffusion).

Synopsis In 1863, the price of The New York Times was three cents, and many plunked down their pennies to read front-page news about “the rebellion”—what we now call the Civil War. But if you were a music aficionado back in 1863, the Times “Amusements” page noted that one of Verdi's newest operas, Un Ballo in Maschera, had just closed at the Academy of Music, and the contemporary composer-pianist Louis Moreau Gottschalk had given a concert of his latest works the day before.After all that “modern” music, maybe you were in the mood for some really OLD music. The enterprising duo of William Mason and Theodore Thomas was offering a Soiree of Chamber Music at Dodworth's Hall on April 21, 1863, and their program included the first public performance in America of the Concerto in C Major for Two Keyboards and Strings by J.S. Bach. Now this was really old stuff— predating the birth of America in 1776 by a good 50 years! The Times did not review this Bach premiere, but the next documented American performance in Boston in 1877 was described in Dwight's Journal as a “cheerful, lightsome, everyday sort of composition …  full of vigor and life, the best of tonics.” Music Played in Today's Program J.S. Bach (1650 - 1721) Concerto in C for Two Keyboards

COMPOSER Dorothy Hindman talks about her 1 Track, UNTITLED VII

COMPOSER Logan Rutledge talks about his 1 Track, DIFFERENT BODIES

Synopsis English is a quirky language, take for example the way English labels groups of birds – it can be quite idiosyncratic and even poetic: “A conspiracy of ravens,” “A trembling of finches.”For composers, birdsong has always exerted great fascination and has been a source of inspiration, but on today's date in 2006, bird nomenclature was the inspiration for a new string quartet that received its premiere in Tucson at a concert sponsored by the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music. The new work was by the American composer Jennifer Higdon, who explains: “The first time someone told me that a collection of larks is called an ‘Exaltation', I immediately thought, ‘What a sound an exaltation of larks must make!' This prompted my imagination to run wild – in a composerly-fashion – thinking of thousands of birds flying and singing wildly, with extraordinary energy and intensity. How to capture the beauty of the idea of exalting and singing? A string quartet seemed perfect!“Higdon's new quartet, titled An Exaltation of Larks was given its 2006 premiere by the Tokyo String Quartet, but it was perhaps inevitable that its first recording was made by – who else? – the Lark Quartet. Music Played in Today's Program Jennifer Higdon (b. 1962) – An Exaltation of Larks (Lark Quartet) Bridge 9379
