from May 28, 2020:  San Francisco Bay Area-based Left Coast Chamber Ensemble's Anna Presler (violin/artistic director), Tanya Tomkins (cello), and Stacey Pelinka (flute) discuss their collaboration with composer Clarice Assad on “Lemuria,” about ancient mythical people and their work on George Crumb’s timeless Vox Balanae. They get philosophical about the question of what does an artist do in times like these (should one become an activist?) and speculate about the influence of soundscapes on musicians in past centuries versus now. Anna reflects on her walks in the Berkeley hills and we talk about birds, who evidently learn better from their teachers than from pre-recorded songs.  Left Coast Chamber Ensemble  Clarice Assad (composer)  Crumb: Vox Balanae (LCCE)  Messiaen: Abîme des oisseaux  This project is affiliated with Landscape Music’s Earth Year 2020 - learn more at https://landscapemusic.org/
