"Since I was a kid, I was in love with the sky, the beauty of it, the freedom of it, like I could just float up forever," #LaurieAnderson tells BBC Radio 4's Front Row presenter Tom Sutcliffe in a conversation about her upcoming album, Amelia, due August 30 on Nonesuch. "I remember as a kid doing that, running into the dark ... the ecstasy. Your arms are out like a plane, and you close your eyes and you run."

The record comprises twenty-two tracks about renowned female aviator #AmeliaEarhart’s tragic last flight. Anderson, who Pitchfork says, “sees the future, but she starts by paying attention,” wrote the music and lyrics. On the album, she is joined by #FilharmonieBrno, conducted by #DennisRussellDavies, and #Anohni, #GabrielCabezas, #RobMoose, #RyanKelly, #MarthaMooke, #MarcRibot, #TonyScherr, #NadiaSirota, and #KennyWolleson."

Always exciting to hear a new symphony by Philip Glass, his twelfth and the conclusion of the David Bowie trilogy; with Glass regular Dennis Russell Davies conducting the Filharmonie Brno.

I will admit I have no idea how to pronounce Brno, however.

Vor 50 Jahren unterzeichneten die Städte Brünn & Leipzig ein #Partnerschaftsabkommen, das bis heute eines der aktivsten der Stadt ist.

Die #FilharmonieBrno und das #mdrSinfonieorchester haben aktuell denselben #Chefdirigenten: #DennisRussellDavies
Beide #Klangkörper konzertieren 2023 im Austausch, die Filharmonie Brno schlägt bei ihrem Gastkonzert musikalisch eine Brücke vom tschechischen Repertoire über den Atlantik zu Philip Glass.
Ein echtes Davies-Programm!
