Podcasts about orchestras

This episode takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotion. We start with a festive preview of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's dazzling holiday show — lasers, pyrotechnics, and snow inside the arena, plus insights from drummer Jeff Plate on what makes this tour an annual fan favorite. But the mood shifts sharply as callers react to the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah. Experts and listeners weigh in on the ease of carrying out such attacks, the suspect's identity, and the broader implications for public safety. Twenty-two-year-old Tyler Robinson, a scholarship student with his whole life ahead of him, is now in custody, sparking anger, grief, and calls for justice. The episode captures a nation grappling with tragedy, security concerns, and the fragility of life in a hyper-connected world.

The show begins on a festive note — with drummer Jeff Plate previewing Trans-Siberian Orchestra's dazzling Christmas tour, complete with lasers, pyro, and snow inside the arena. But joy turns quickly to dread as listeners call in about Charlie Kirk's assassination. A self-described amateur rifleman explains how shockingly little skill is needed to carry out such an attack, while others recount overhearing laughter about Kirk's murder in public spaces. Anger and fear rise as calls for firing squads and swift justice echo through the lines. Then the breaking news: the assassin's name. Twenty-two-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah, a scholarship student, arrested after throwing away his future — and others' lives — in a single horrific act. With the FBI press conference looming, the episode captures a nation reeling: parents praying, citizens demanding vengeance, and a deep unease about security, radicalization, and where this violence will lead next.

Today's episode covers a wide range of intense stories shaping America. We break down the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in Utah, and the public's reaction to this national tragedy — from discussions of gun violence and radicalization to the personal impact on families and communities. Amid this, we also highlight a lighter note with an in-depth look at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's holiday tour, complete with dazzling pyrotechnics, lasers, and emotional performances that have captivated fans for decades. It's a day of stark contrasts: grief and fear, hope and celebration, all reflecting the complexity of life in modern America.

Donald Macleod explores Robert Schumann's years in Dusseldorf – the city where he would spend the final years of his life.

This episode of Big Conversations, Little Bar with Patrick Evans and Randy Florence spotlights a dynamic leader shaping the desert's classical scene. As artistic director for Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic, our guest Lee Mills explains how a tiny team brings the world's great orchestras to the McCallum Theatre within a narrow January to April window—often booking seasons as far out as 2028. Expect a blockbuster lineup: Chicago Symphony; a Los Angeles Philharmonic visit during a milestone leadership transition; Academy of St Martin in the Fields with Joshua Bell; a top Mexico City orchestra with Carlos Miguel Prieto and Pacho Flores fresh off a 2023 Latin Grammy; plus San Diego and Dallas Symphonies. We trace Mills' path from Belgrade, Montana to podiums in Brazil, Seattle, and the Carolinas, and how an MBA sharpened his audience-first programming. He rejects old-school “dictator” conducting in favor of joyful collaboration—and shares a thrilling vision to fuse symphonic power with club production. Pro tip: the season's nearly sold out—join the waitlist.Takeaways:Palm Springs Friends of Philharmonic presents world-class orchestras at McCallum Theatre.Touring windows are tight (Jan–Apr), and dates are juggled years in advance.Upcoming highlights include Chicago Symphony, LA Phil, Academy of St Martin with Joshua Bell, San Diego & Dallas Symphonies, and a Mexico City orchestra with Carlos Miguel Prieto and Pacho Flores.The organization is lean (two going on three staff) and partners closely with McCallum's crew.Career arc: Montana roots → college conducting epiphany → Brazil, Seattle → Greenville music directorship.Leadership style favors collaboration, fun, and audience engagement—no “tyrant conductor” vibes.Bold vision: bring orchestras into club environments with lights, acrobatics, and symphonic hits.Season is almost sold out; waitlists routinely move 50–100 returned tickets per concert.#BigConversationsLittleBarPodcast #PatrickEvans #RandyFlorence #SkipsLittleBar #MutualBroadcastingSystem #CoachellaValleyResidents #SkipPaige #LeeMills #PSPhil #PalmSpringsFriendsOfPhilharmonic #McCallumTheatre #ChicagoSymphony #LAPhil #GustavoDudamel #JoshuaBell #PachoFlores #CarlosMiguelPrieto #GreenvilleSymphony #ClassicalMusic #CoachellaValley

Das Australian World Orchestra präsentierte in Sydney Gustav Mahlers 4. und 5. Symphonie. Unter der Leitung von Alexander Briger überzeugte das „wahrenationale Orchester Australiens“ mit einer dichten, energiegeladenen Interpretation. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Sarah Traubels Sopran-Solo in „Das himmlische Leben“. Das Publikum dankte mit langem Applaus und Standing Ovations – ein Abend, der die besondere Stellung dieses Orchesters im Musikleben Australiens bestätigte.

Offense vs Oklahoma Starts at 1:00 How bothered/upset are you right now? Seth says this game was 2004 Notre Dame. It feels like they're playing for 2027 but you need some momentum if you want to get more wide receivers. You want Bryce Underwood to let it rip but instead the offense played way too conservatively. Michigan didn't keep it close, Oklahoma kept shooting themselves in the foot to keep Michigan in this game. Oklahoma knew Michigan would run a bunch of freshman quarterback plays and blew them all up. It's possible that Michigan didn't drop back much because they offensive line couldn't give Bryce enough time and the coaches knew this. Maybe the coaches are just trying to keep Bryce from getting hurt and that means playing conservatively in a non-conference game. Why are there so many runs and screens on 3rd down? Just throw it on 3rd and long and see what happens. How much of the Jim Harbaugh stuff is sustainable without literally Jim Harbaugh? Sometimes Crippen just isn't strong enough for his assignment.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs Oklahoma Starts at 29:45 That felt like it should've been about 24 points. John Mateer also did some incredible things and came up positive in the random number generator game. Michigan wasn't able to get after Oklahoma's freshman left tackle. There was some cute Wink stuff again that the personnel couldn't execute. He reverted back to some of his ways from early last year. When Oklahoma did run it up the middle the defensive line was what you wanted it to be. Overall, the defense was okay, just not #1 defense in America okay. TJ Guy getting shut down by a true freshman tackle says "we're just not there." Was there much of a difference with and without Jaishawn Barham? Oklahoma seemed to adjust to his absence but Michigan didn't.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 53:11 Takes not quite as hot Billy Napier's hot seat. Number changes must be approved by a sickos committee (unless it is to make the quarterback #98). Michigan elected to kick from the plus 38 yard line, this is indefensible when you have Zvada. The point of being Michigan is that you can get that 4th and 2. Sherrone should be old and young enough to have played Madden from the age of six. Go let Zvada (and all the guys who make plays) go make the plays they're supposed to make. There was no mention of Semaj getting targeted and looking woozie. In case you're wondering the difference between running into the kicker and roughing the kicker... that was roughing the kicker.  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:21:51 Too many Big Ten teams so notes are reduced. Penn State 34, FIU 0 Indiana 56, Kennesaw State 9 Minnesota 66, Northwestern State 0 Minnesota running back Darrius Taylor went out with an injury. Ohio State 70, Grambling 0 Nebraska 68, Akron 0 It should be a little bit easier to run against Nebraska than Oklahoma at least. Wisconsin 42, Middle Tennessee 10 This game was actually close for a while. Wisconsin couldn't run the ball well at all. USC 59, Georgia Southern 20 USC with 11.3 YPP through two games. They have one touchdown per 6.5 snaps. Washington 70, UC-Davis 10 Northwestern 42, Western Illinois 7 Purdue 34, Southern Illinois 17 Illinois 45, Duke 19 Duke is not a terrible ACC team, they outgained Illinois. How valid is Illinois being ranked #11? Duke had five turnovers. Illinois got a first down after Duke had two guys wearing the same number on a punt. Iowa 13, Iowa State 16 This was a perfect rendition of ¡El Assico!. Zero explosive plays between both teams. Neither team got to 300 yards of offense. The same guy kicked the same game winning field goal for the 2nd year.  Rutgers 45, Miami (NTM) 17 Rutgers has scored on 12 of their 16 drives this year. There's a legit passing attack here. Oregon 69, Oklahoma State 3 Mike Gundy complained before the game that Oregon spent a lot of money on their players. Then oh no! Oklahome State is an OSU that looks too much like Oregon State apparently. Michigan State 42, Boston College 40 (2OT) Aidan Chiles can be anything in any given week and this week was Good Aidan Chiles. Is Michigan State's pass defense worse than Fordham's? UNLV 30, UCLA 23 Going to UCLA is telling on yourself. UNLV's first win over a "Big Ten" team in 22 years. Alex Orji's only appearance was one running play. Maryland 20, Northern Illinois 9 Would you rather take the Maryland job or the Virginia Tech job? Would you rather have mayo dumped on you or lose the Mayo Bowl?

Joy from Sammy and Joya Usually I don't title the episode exactly the same as the album I'm featuring, but this one was just too good not to use. Yes, we will hear the artist I think is the greatest showman who ever lived, but this record is really about Joya. She is not widely known today, despite her significant contributions, because of a combination of historical and social factors that often affected women and African American artists in jazz. But the gang at the Design Label teamed her up in 1957 with a fast rising star in Davis Jr to introduce her solo recordings to the world. So, get ready to hear a voice that brought joy when I saw him on stage and a voice that brought joy when I heard this record in Volume 245: Sammy Jumps With Joya. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Sammy Davis Jr., Joya Sherrill – Sammy Jumps With Joya Label: Design Records  – DLP 22 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Released: 1957 Genre: Jazz We will hear 7 of the 10 songs from this album.

Concert de l'Orchestra Baobab le 7 juin 2025 au festival Musiques métisses à Angoulême (France). Suite et fin de la semaine concerts de RFI. Après Tiken Jah Fakoly, Luidji, Queen Rima, Kutu, Ballaké Sissoko & Piers Faccini, place à l'Orchestra Baobab ! Avec sa fusion inimitable de rythmes afro-cubains, de sonorités mandingues, et de traditions musicales wolof et sérères, Orchestra Baobab offre une célébration de l'âme sénégalaise et un hommage vibrant à son patrimoine musical. Leur dernier album Made in Sénégal est un voyage musical inoubliable et un retour triomphal après sept ans de silence. Titres interprétés lors du concert : Outro Horas, Wanema Ma Guiss, Sutukoum, Anna Maria, Sénégal, Ndiga Niaw et Sibo Odia. Line Up : Seydou Norou Koite (directeur musical, sax alto), Mamadou Mountaga Koite (batterie), Zaccharia Koite (chant lead), René «Boléro» Sowatche (guitare lead), Yahya Fall (guitare rythmique), Moussa Sissokho (percussions), Malick Sy (basse), Ndeye Korka Dieng (chant) et Wilfrid Ambroise Zinsou (sax ténor). Nos invités : Mamadou Mountaga Koite alias Taga et Abib M'Baye (manager). Biographie Orchestra Baobab Depuis l'indépendance (1960), les nuits dakaroises sont principalement animées par les musiques cubaines. La clientèle, aisée, composée principalement d'élites politiques et économiques qui dirigent l'État présidé par Léopold Sédar Senghor, s'y retrouve pour boire et danser. L'Orchestra Baobab naît en 1970 dans l'effervescence nocturne de Dakar, capitale cosmopolite du Sénégal. Le plus prolifique et le plus durable des orchestres dakarois des années 1970, enregistre plus de vingt disques et cassettes entre 1972 et 2001. À l'image d'un Sénégal indépendant, moderne et ouvert tant aux influences occidentales qu'aux flux migratoires panafricains, l'Orchestra Baobab dévoile une musique métissée qui mêle instruments électriques importés et percussions de facture locale, rythmes et mélodies tirées du folklore et improvisations jazzistiques. L'orchestre a animé l'élégant « Club Baobab », situé dans un complexe du même nom regroupant un bar américain, un restaurant et la boîte de nuit. La musique de l'Orchestra Baobab reprend une formule consacrée par ses prédécesseurs d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Les grands orchestres de danse post-indépendance comme le Bembeya Jazz National et l'Orchestre Paillotte de Guinée Conakry, les Maravillas de Mali de Boncana Maïga ou le Rail Band de Bamako, le Star Band de Dakar, font vibrer les élites des nations nouvelles au rythme de musiques inspirées tant des folklores locaux que des rythmes caraïbes ou noirs américains. Le Sénégal est, avec le Congo Zaïre, le pays qui a le plus consommé les musiques cubaines et latino-américaines.  Ce qui caractérise le « son » du Baobab, c'est qu'il tire son inspiration de plusieurs folklores nationaux. Le wolof est la langue nationale, et la principale influence dans les autres orchestres de la capitale. Mais les inspirations sérère, toucouleur, malinké ou créole font tout autant partie du registre du Baobab. Plusieurs folklores harmonisés par des arrangements orchestraux modernes pour le plaisir d'un public demandeur de distractions nocturnes qui soient autant les réinterprétations des folklores entendus dans l'enfance que les musiques étrangères contemporaines en vogue en Europe et aux États-Unis. Panafricain et enraciné dans les cultures régionales du Sénégal et de ses frontières, moderne, l'orchestra Baobab n'est pas un orchestre national à proprement parler, comme ce fut le cas de certains orchestres maliens ou guinéens. Basé dans la capitale, il reflète à lui seul la diversité ethnoculturelle d'un Sénégal uni par une capitale qui attire des habitants venus de l'ensemble du pays. Pas d'orchestre officiel régional ici. Plus cosmopolite, peut-être aussi plus élitiste, le « son » du Baobab est à l'image d'un Dakar très ouvert à la modernité occidentale. Le succès rapide de l'orchestre Baobab est dû aussi bien au talent des musiciens qu'à celui des entrepreneurs qui ont idéalisé le Club, à leur capacité à attirer certains des meilleurs musiciens et chanteurs du Dakar by night. Mais la vie nocturne dakaroise est le théâtre d'un éternel conflit entre concurrents sur un marché de taille restreinte. Beaucoup de musiciens et quelques orchestres se disputent une place sous les spotlights, alors que la capitale compte en définitive peu de clubs et encore moins de clients. Les membres du Baobab sont recrutés dans les autres formations déjà actives dans les boîtes dakaroises. Le premier chef d'orchestre, Baro N'Diaye, travaillait auparavant au bar-restaurant club « La Plantation ». Saxophoniste ténor, c'est lui qui forme la première mouture de l'orchestre du Baobab, probablement avec le bassiste Sidath Ly. Balla Sidibe, chanteur/batteur, Rudy Gomis et Barthélémy Attisso sont issus du Star Band, qui animait le club « Le Miami » d'Ibrahima Kasse. Le Club Baobab ferme ses portes en 1979. L'Orchestre demeure en activité, et continue d'enregistrer des disques tout aussi géniaux. Mais le « son » n'est plus le même. Au fil des changements techniques et stylistiques, avec l'apparition de la mini-cassette qui ouvre la porte à la piraterie en masse, l'explosion du m'balax, et du simple fait qu'il n'anime plus un club destiné à certaines élites, se perd le cachet si particulier aux enregistrements d'une époque marquée par une vie nocturne intense. Au XXIè siècle, rencontre avec l'Anglais Nick Gold du label World Circuit qui relance la carrière du Baobab avec Specialist in all styles.  Aujourd'hui, l'Orchestra Baobab s'est lancé dans une trilogie avec Made in Dakar (2007), Made in Sénégal (2026) puis Made in Africa (dans le futur avec des invités prestigieux).

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a repeat customer along with his well-known photographer friend-slash-collaborator who's done some record covers you're definitely familiar with. It's Ruban Nielson and Neil Krug.  Nielson is the frontman of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the band he started in his native New Zealand before relocating to Portland, Oregon, where he still lives. UMO, as the band is affectionately known, has often been categorized as psych-rock, but I'm not sure that label is accurate or complete. There's definitely some oil-lamp vibes going on, but there's something more personal and direct happening underneath the swirling guitars and hooks. That's maybe never been more true than on this year's Curse EP, which was Nielson's way of writing and creating through the grief of his younger sister's untimely death from cancer. He channeled that energy into songs that were also inspired by ‘70s Italian horror movies and gloomy metal records, but somehow it's not a bummer at all. Check out “DEATH COMES FROM THE SKY” right here. As you know if you're a regular listener of this podcast, we mostly feature musicians, occasionally actors, every once in a while a producer or writer. But I'm not sure if in all of these years we've ever welcomed someone chiefly known as a photographer. That changes today, with Neil Krug, whose photographs you've likely seen even if you don't know his name. Krug is maybe best known for his shots of Lana Del Rey, and he also did the iconic cover of Tame Impala's The Slow Rush. He and Ruban go way back, having worked on artwork and photos for Unknown Mortal Orchestra over the years—and maybe in the future?  In this great conversation, these two chat about the making of Curse, working together on UMO's Sex and Food record as well as other UMO stuff, the ridiculously over-the-top reaction of Ruban's fans to his dabbling in AI artwork, and the joys of David Lynch. Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:20 – Start of the chat 3:02 – On making Curse and music as therapy 10:20 – Nielson on AI tools and the reaction from UMO fans 16:50 – UMO's "analog-only photography" policy at shows 21:42 – How Krug and Nielson first met 25:45 – Nielson's cape phase 26:42 – On UMO's Sex and Food and the color blue 27:50 – Sex and Food's original title was... 31:51 – On SB mixes, Hanoi, Curse, and other non-traditional UMO records 34:45 – On David Lynch and the power of cinema 36:00 – The story behind The Slow Rush artwork 40:41 – Predictions on the next UMO record 44:02 – On "darky, spooky aesthetics" Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Ruban Nielson and Neil Krug for chatting.

Offense vs New Mexico Starts at 1:00 When's the last time you've ever seen an offensive lineman run away from a fight? Probably the funniest thing all night. New Mexico came out like they wanted to make a statement for a new era of New Mexico, and they may have an endless well of College Crappe that they can run. Let's talk about Bryce Underwood, it took one game for Brian to become a believer. Bryce just turned 18 but we're making critiques that you would make about juniors and seniors. He's got a thing for parabolic arcs. We're finally seeing the Semaj Morgan we hoped to see when he was a sophomore. The whole stadium stopped and turned to Brian on the play action pass to Max Bredeson. Bryce is very accurate when he can throw in the pocket, if Channing Goodwin hadn't put his hands up the ball would've just gotten stuck in his facemask. They're not running Bryce but then he's throwing a monster block with his throwing shoulder. Offensive line kept Bryce from getting lit up so that's a W, especially against a couple decent transfer edges. So was Justice Haynes worth the price? Overall, Channing Goodwin was encouraging. Fred Moore had a bad drop.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Defense vs New Mexico Starts at 51:04 A little tricky to grade the defense. They gave up some stuff but some of it was aided by the officials. Wink seemed to struggle with the College Crappe a bit, but Ohio State doesn't run that and you need Wink to beat Ohio State. QB Jack Layne was a fearless dawg who kept getting back up all game. Michigan had a lot of rotation all game. Brandyn Hillman hit a guy hard enough that you didn't need Grapentine to tell you who it was, Jyaire Hill got beat. Enow Etta played more than was expected. Seth got deported from the Vatican once. Jaishawn Barham is probably the worst person to get hit by on this team. The defensive line doesn't have a superstar but it's deep like the 2022 line.  3. Hot Takes, Game Theory, and Special Teams Starts at 1:17:56 Takes hotter than Michigan Stadium after Jaishawn Barham got ejected. Michigan punted on 4th and 1 on their own 49, three thumbs down. Andrew Marsh fumbled a kickoff and hesitated on one he brought out but he's a true freshman so it is what it is, it'll get better. Hudson Hollenbeck was fine, there's room for improvement. Discussing the targeting call, note that this was recorded before the "upheld" decision. Oops, we've been pronouncing "Sprague" wrong apparently. Maybe we midwesternized his name.  4. Around the Big Ten with Jamie Mac Starts at 1:58:00 There are too many Big Ten teams so there are fewer notes for some games. Purdue 31, Ball State 0 Maryland 39, FAU 7 The Maryland freshman QB looks pretty decent. Total yardage was somehow even. Penn State 46, Nevada 11 Penn State might be a boring team to watch until they play Oregon. Iowa 34, Albany 7 The Iowa QB was still pretty pedestrian. Oregon 59, Montana State 13 USC 73, Missouri State 13 Welcome to the FBS, Missouri State. Illinois 52, Western Illinois 3 Northwestern 3, Tulane 23 Preston Stone had -42 rushing yards. The Northwestern head coach says to "believe in this quarterback". Indiana 27, Old Dominion 14 This Indiana team feels less explosive compared to last year. Washington 38, Colorado State 21 Jonah Coleman had 177 rushing yards on 24 carries, the Huskies are looking more explosive this season. They could be Pacific Chaos Team but their defense is still suspect.  Utah 43, UCLA 10 "Committing to UCLA is telling on yourself", Nico Iamaleava was 11/22 for 136 yards, 1TD/1INT. UCLA is still who they've been. Utah was 14/16 on 3rd down conversions. Michigan State 23, Western Michigan 6 Michigan State struggled to stop Western's edges. 138 yards in the last nine drives isn't great. MSU did get a 21-0 lead early, though. Rutgers 34, Ohio 31 Not a great start for Rutgers. Overall, an exciting game. Minnesota 23, Buffalo 10 This is much more of a blowout than the score indicates. Minnesota QB is 19/35 for 290 yards (2TD/1INT). Buffalo is a good MAC team, too. Wisconsin 17, Miami (Oh) 0 Billy Edwards is injured and Wisconsin struggled to move the ball. But Miami struggled more. Nebraska 20, Cincinnati 17 Dylan Raiola was 33/42 for 243 yards but it was mostly to the backs. Former Indiana QB Brendan Sorsby was the Cincy QB that threw the final interception. Half the event was that Taylor Swift was here. Ohio State 14, Texas 7 336 yards for Texas, 203 for Ohio State. The Buckeyes can't really run the ball. There was some "oh no" from the Ohio State fans. Texas got stopped four times on 4th down, twice inside the 10. Texas also has two massive facemask penalties. Ohio State also had weird drops from the receivers. When's the last time Ohio State had less than 200 yards of offense?

Anne began our discussion by dispelling the myth that everyone in Nazi Germany simply went along with Hitler's plans. She examined these resisters in her book Red Orchestra: The Story of the Berlin Underground and the Circle of Friends Who Resisted Hitler. When I read the book, it didn't become clear to me how vitally important it was that there was a vast resistance movement. One I had never heard about. She hopes that the past might give us clues for potential future playbooks.“I think one thing they did well was create a broad coalition. So, what they did was find people who opposed the Nazi regime, and some of them were monarchists, some of them were communists. They had Lutherans, Catholics, Jews, Atheists, you name it. And they agreed to put their differences aside until the end of the regime, and then they could start infighting again. But, over that period, they worked together.” Anne said, “That's why I'm so adamant about people getting involved now and getting involved in a practical sense, not just the, you know, the street demonstrations, which are fine, but studying what needs to be done in terms of our government.” She hopes that this would help us figure out how to save our democracy while we still may have time. If you wish to be part of the hope of defeating the authoritarian Cult of Trump, roll up your sleeves and be part of heroic resistance! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to another unapologetically cheeky episode of BUTT HONESTLY. This week, Dr. Carlton and Dangilo are serving up equal parts education, chaos, and fart jokes (literally).First up, the Booty Gang delivers a grab bag of butt dials: one member wants answers about HPV (because Google isn't always the best doctor), another self-identified BUTT MUNCH is worried about the risks of snacking where the sun don't shine, and yet another listener is just looking to chill out after their nightly “release.” And if that weren't enough, we've got a 60-something hero who's ready to swing the back door open for some long-overdue visitors. Bless.Meanwhile, Dr. Carlton dishes about his night out at Back Hair Night, where the farts were plentiful and the men were hairy. The guys also recap FilmOut SD—from The Orchestra and Plainclothes—because culture is just as important as kink.And of course, it wouldn't be Butt Honestly without a steamy, hilarious, and slightly unhinged wrap-up with their Love Language of the Week.

Each year, the Australian World Orchestra brings together Australia's top musicians from all over the world. On September 3 and 4, the orchestra plays Mahler's 4th and 5th symphonies — with German soprano Sarah Traubel. In conversation, she explains, among other things, what fascinates her in particular about Mahler, what role her solo plays — and why she experiences participating in the Australian World Orchestra like a class reunion in which she herself is the welcomed 'exchange student. ' - Das Australian World Orchestra vereint jedes Jahr Australiens Spitzenmusiker aus aller Welt. Am 3. und 4. September spielt es Mahlers 4. und 5. Symphonie – mit dabei die deutsche Sopranistin Sarah Traubel. Im Gespräch erzählt sie unter anderem, was sie besonders an Mahler fasziniert, welche Rolle ihr Solo spielt – und warum sie das Mitwirken im Australian World Orchestra wie ein Klassentreffen erlebt, bei dem sie selbst die wilkommene ‚Austauschschülerin‘ ist.

Noncon and Big Ten: The Bottom Four Starts at 0:54 New Mexico. Former Wisconsin player who was at Idaho takes over, brings the QB and the DE who gave Oregon problems last year. Keegan Johnson used to play at Iowa. Oklahoma. Spiderman pointing game. Their defense was great and their offense just as terrible. Mateer the savior doesn't have WRs and his OL is highly recruited and young. They spent a lot for Damonic Williams at DT, have a great FS and iffy corners. Punting and arm-punting is winning? CMU. New coach is the former Army OL coach, interesting dude who sends his coaches home at 5pm, got all local coaches because he wants to be there a long time. Got an Iowa QB. #18: Purdue. Odom: Why? Team was falling apart already under Walters and got gutted. Multi-year rebuild. #17: Maryland. Walking Locksley to the gallows season. Inexplicable receiver depth is gone. Jalen Husky (from Bowling Green) and secondary is the relative strength of the defense. How much will Maryland seriously try to compete in this sport or just throw their House money at basketball? #16: Northwestern. The2021 running backs are still there. Caleb Tiernan how do you not come home? Edges Hubbard and Anto Saka (getting draft hype) are good. Dillon Tatum late transfer followed Harlon Barnett. Receivers are gone though. #15: UCLA. Encouraging second half last year, new belief in Deshawn Foster. But they're back to rebuilding from the portal, look like they have to do that every year. Only 2/15 players with 200+ snaps returned. Did get Nico Iamaleava. They have some access to money, but where's it going? Jalen Berger is their RB!   [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. The Big Ten Middle Starts at 34:54 #14: MSU. Defense takes a step back, offense takes a step forward, Aidan Chiles could be a budding star. Jonathan Smith probably didn't understand what kind of fanbase he's walking into. #13: Wisconsin. Is this the last hurrah of Fickell? They dumped the spread and their best player is a huge RT so that's good; their defense is kind of falling apart so that's bad. #12: Rutgers. Schiano has done it: Rutgers is a perennial bowl team! No more Monangai but plenty of parts are back, especially on the OL. #11: Minnesota. High-variance offense, Koi Perich is an All-American. If a few of the transfers hit it's a strong defense. Could win 10 games vs a bad schedule, could also be just fighting for a bowl. #10: Nebraska. Raiola year 2 has a lot of weapons. They really spent to get him some WRs, Dane Key and a contested catch guy from Cal. Still going to be a 3-3-5 but playing tiny. The problem is their DL coach left and took the DL with him. #9: Washington. Only Big Ten RB to return, really like them. Also got back Boston. Upgraded from Stephen Belichick to Ryan Walters at DC, have a dual-threat QB who took over last year. Opposite Michigan: no kicker, weak in the trenches.  #8: Iowa. Mid! Offense improved quite a bit under Tim Lester, rose to 69th in SP+, had fewer wins because that's not Iowa. "We have a quarterback now!" /runs a waggle. #7: Indiana. Cignetti is tough to play for but he was able to rebuild through the portal again with guys who don't have to get to know Cignetti, including a new QB who might be pretty good.   3. The Contenders Starts at 1:10:38 #6: Illinois. Brian is wearing an Illinois shirt after a 10-2 season that was really lucky. Lose their playmakers from a team that was really lucky last year and did most of their work. Paid all these guys to return because they have a very weak schedule. Circle Illinois-Indiana. #5: USC. Ewebwuddy Woves Waymond. Scott Frost season where they lost to Maryland, banking on a massive, sorta overrated 2026 class. Have their choice receivers, have their QB in Maiava, have a magic wand to turn their secondary into poop. (#4 is Michigan) #3: Oregon. Dan Lanning is our top coach in the league but in-game management in Rose Bowl scares us. Doesn't lose bad games. Will be some talent drop-off, do we trust Dante Moore? He's had a year in the program and they didn't import someone. Probably spent the most of anybody in the portal. Bear Alexander at DT is a reason to doubt them; this team has a big potential to come together or completely fall apart with locker room issues. Easy schedule: Play two OSUs but not THAT OSU. #2: Ohio State. Have the best player on offense (Jeremiah Smith) and the best player on defense (Caleb Downs) in the country, but do they have a quarterback? Their OL is kinda iffy, but the LT situation looks like a hit, and then two transfers are battling for RT. Run game is meh, trust the pass game. People underrating how much they lost on the DL, but we like Beau Atkinson pickup. LB and secondary have a ton of talent: Sonny Styles and Igbinosun are back. S&P+ #1 because there's talent everywhere. If you're looking for reasons to hate on Ohio State: Matt Patricia is there to ruin their defense. #1: Penn State. Drew Allar started very low in our eyes, has improved to okay or mid, and then had a great bowl game. RBs can run in a straight line. TE lost Warren. Receiver is a little iffy, but best OL in Franklin's tenure (not saying much). Kotelnicki is a factor in the offense though. Reasons they're not overrated: defense is filled with talent and experience. Think national pundits see last year, see Big Ten teams that returned their quarterbacks and a strong defense won the last two national championships.   4. Hot Takes & Lightning Round Starts at 1:49:41 Takes hotter than this summer. At seven hours of podcasting we are getting loopy but we still answer most important, breakout players, biggest x-factors, who's your dude, and final predictions.

Quarterback Starts at 0:54 Quick rundown of all the options: it's Bryce. Expectations for Bryce: Vince Young as a RS freshman, who doesn't quite know what to do with the ball and gets jumpy when the pressure's on, but you can see the talent. One thing in his favor: he isn't jumpy at all in the pocket, and the overthrows in the Spring Game were out of character. Michigan has to roll with it, but Big Ten average with huge swings. Will he be more like a sophomore by Ohio State perhaps? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Skill Positions Starts at 35:36 Running back has two really good players and then a drop to ???. On the very goods, we love Jordan Marshall and might be underrating Justice Haynes—he's got a lot of Corum in him. He's also got a lot of experience as a lead blocker for a running QB, but that's probably not what he came here for. WRs are Donaven McCulley and then a big drop to Just-Guys who probably were better than they looked last year. Think Semaj Morgan should be the #2 since he gives you something—F.Moore, Bell, O'Leary just guys, hearing things about the freshmen doesn't give Brian happy feels. Tight end is the strength of the offense. The spectrum goes fullback: Max Bredeson, h-back: Jalen Hoffman, inline: Marlin Klein, flex: Hogan Hansen. Bredeson kickouts force defenders to overcommit, create bounce opportunities. Klein is an underrated blocker (watch the Reliaquest Bowl). Hansen was open last year, Davis Warren was allergic to throwing at him. Hoffman might be Underwood's secret binkie, can run WR routes and block like an OL. 3. Offensive Line Starts at 1:18:36 PLEASE do not activate our rule that if two guys are battling for a job and it's won by a third guy it's a very bad sign. Concerning that OL was an issue, and player evaluation was an issue, when the HC was the OL coach. It's not a hot take that Andrew Babalola is going to start at Ohio State, Brian. If Evan Link gets fixed and Gio El-Hadi truly feels more comfortable at LG that'd be great; the latter is more likely than the former, but they don't have better options so Link to start. Crippen is who he is; if his issues were mental then could see Juan Castillo having an effect, but Crippen is mentally there and just gets physically dominated. RG and RT are two really good stories for the future, as Efobi and Sprague (especially Sprague) are on track for excellent careers. Depth at G. 4. Hot Takes, Special Teams and Chip Starts at 1:46:36 Takes hotter than Sabrina Carpenter. Thank you to the Michigan fan who left Dominic Zvada out of the Groza semifinalists so he would come back to be the best kicker in Michigan history again. Punter…wasn't great last year but it's not like Hudson Hollenbeck was better in the one game we saw him, and attempts to get more guys in the portal is a little concerning. Returns should be Semaj, I'Marion Stewart, and hearing things about the UMass transfer Anthony Simpson. Chip's offense is about building his passing game onto your running game. They'd like to be an outside zone one way/rollout the other way team but they probably can't run outside zone. Need to hit the downfield shots to keep safeties off their screen game; last year they were set up at 7 yards.

Brandon Legion and I continue our exploration of the weird world of Twin Peaks.  This week we explore Season 1, Episode 3 “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer.” This episode originally aired on April 19, 1990 and was written by David Lynch, directed by Lynch with music by Angel Badalamenti. The plot thickens as Agent Cooper ramps up his investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer by calling in his forensic specialist Albert Rosenfield. Bobby and Mike find themselves getting deeper into the dark world of Leo Johnson and Cooper gains a preternatural insight into who killed Laura Palmer.   Intro:                   “Twin Peaks Theme” – Andrew Badalamenti Outro:                “Pennsylvania 6-5000” – Glenn Miller and his Orchestra

Kansas City's own Charlie "Bird" Parker revolutionized jazz music. Local jazz legend Lonnie McFadden is leading a celebration of Parker's music and legacy at the Folly Theater this month.

We have to talk about the NCAA NOA Starts at 0:54 A great exercise in bad faith, and deeply insulting to Mike Sainristil. NCAA doesn't want to go to court because they'll lose, so they produced a blustery document to make it about money. Clearly Stalions should not have been part of any organization. If Jim Harbaugh is still the head coach when this comes out they would have had to fire him. But these are clearly minor violations hopped up as an extension of Harbaugh's reaction to telling them to go to hell for Burgergate, and part of a pattern of the NCAA coming after him personally. We're actually shocked at how bad all of their evidence is: 1) Stalions who's a liar. 2) Joey Velazquez, who recorded Stalions, tried to entrap Partridge, and Partridge proved was lying about their interaction, and for the Level II recruiting violations 3) a player who was broomed from the class whom the NCAA also admitted didn't have his stories straight. The only evidence they had of an atmosphere of noncompliance was an assistant (likely Stalions) saying screw Compliance. When they say the benefit was not marginal they don't even try to justify that take—Michigan got better without Stalions. The report makes its conclusion on the value of this entirely on the basis of the lengths that Stalions went to trying to get film when the guy goes to extreme lengths to pump up his own importance as a rule. Their defining piece of evidence is Harbaugh gave him a game ball, when they also say they found Harbaugh gave out 15 game balls per game to try to make sure everyone on staff got one, and Connor's value was so little that he a defensive ball from Iowa. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Defensive Line Starts at 16:16 Rayshaun Benny was grading out like Mason Graham—see: the end of the OSU and Alabama games. He is not Mason Graham, but should be able to keep up that sort of ratio because they are so deep they can keep him fresh at the end of games. Tre Williams is a Mazi Smith, M valued him more than Clemson did; he isn't a pass-rusher. Damon Payne is an innings-eater. Ike Iwunnah too. Trey Pierce and Enow Etta are the ones we want to see emerge because they have eligibility for next year. Pierce is on that track while Etta gained weight after getting pushed around last year, is ticketed for the Jenkins role. If a 7th DT plays we think it's Palepale, who looks huge and athletic. Edge has a floor of All-Big Ten and a ceiling of Derrick Moore turning into a Day 1 pick. He is that freakish combination of technique, length, and athleticism, got better at dropping into coverage last year, has a Mike Morris style of pass rush that should work. Last year he was getting to the quarterback but everyone else got there before him. TJ Guy is possibly the smartest guy on the field, had the most dip of last year, underrated strength, lots of versatility, though hit a ceiling when it came to carrying Flex TEs. Saved Michigan vs OSU. Cam Brandt is the established backup to D-Mo; we're a little iffy on him, but he might be on the Morris track. Backup to Guy is Nichols—clearly the program likes him but unproven. Would like to see Nate Marshall used in a pass rush only role this year. Would like to see Baxter and Edokpayi playing more this year too. 3. Linebacker Starts at 50:02 Everybody came back/is healthy after they prepared to lose everyone, so there's a lot of age and a lot of depth. Ernest Hausmann is the glue of the offense, another very underrated player who moves like a nickel and reads plays well. Had to get in better shape because when you're the button you can't be breathing hard between plays—you have to yelling. Barham is the Problem for offenses, because you can't block him with a RB and you have to block someone with the RB. Been caught "covering grass" as we say but has the ability to blow up. Can also spend time at edge if need be. Depth is incredible. Rolder is your Braiden McGregor-memorial back-from-injury senior who's going to play plenty and play well but start losing time to Cole Sullivan, the next Barham who's rocked up and earning a ton of practice hype after being under-ranked out of high school by 247 and ESPN (On3 moved him up to #112 so I couldn't make him the Sleeper of the Class). Also got Troy Bowles who's got a role as the Coverage LB. And Jaydon Hood has shown he can play. AND they really like the freshmen: Owusu-Boateng is a future Hausmann while Chase Taylor is a Class Sleeper. 4. Secondary Starts at 1:16:28 Replete with options, but each has a question mark. Is Rod Moore going to play? Maybe 2nd half of the season—was 85% at start of fall, has to backpedal, IG video shows him jogging. Assumed he's a nickel but TJ Metcalf is stepping in for him; Metcalfs (Metcalves?) can obviously play, precognition is Sainristilian. Brandyn Hillman is a hit stick, the person offensive players are most afraid of despite Barham on the team. Free safety is either Jaden Mangham, a glider whom offenses didn't throw at when at MSU (probably because you could throw at anyone else), or Mason Curtis, who is a very weird player. Curtis has an extra role as a Big Nickel, i.e. a hybrid OLB who comes in for Guy against 2TE sets to take away those Flex TEs. Might see something from a young guy but unlikely. Cornerback is the iffiest position on defense but has a super high ceiling with Jyaire and Zeke both with considerable runway. Hill just needs to not bite on double-moves. Berry got comfortable last year, still can clean up his zones and turn getting a hand on passes into interceptions. Depth starts with Jo'Ziah Edmond, a Ryan Walters special stolen from Walters. We think Shamari Earls looks like an immediately viable corner but is on more of a Jyaire development track (also ran track) as opposed to Will Johnson, who was super developed at this stage. Caleb Anderson did not impress us as much as the two #12s who preceded him. Jeremiah Lowe showed some things in spring; Seth thinks Jayden Sanders is going to play more than Lowe.
