Carnegie Hall has announced its 2021–22 concert season, sharing plans to reopen its landmark concert venue to the general public in October, and among the performers taking the esteemed hall's stages are Sō Percussion with Dawn Upshaw and Gilbert Kalish, and Kronos Quartet; as well as Youssou N'Dour. The season also features works by composers including Caroline Shaw, John Adams, Nico Muhly, Sarah Kirkland Snider, and Michael Gordon.
Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Caroline Shaw's second Nonesuch album, Narrow Sea, is out now. Shaw wrote the album's title piece, for Sō Percussion, Dawn Upshaw, and Gilbert Kalish, who perform it here: five parts, each a new setting of a text from The Sacred Harp, the 19th-century collection of shape-note hymns. Video for all five parts of the piece can be seen here. Also on the album is Sō Percussion's performance of Shaw's Taxidermy, which she wrote for the ensemble.

About This Album
The Second Piano Sonata, Ives’s most expansive work for the instrument, was, according to the composer, “an attempt to present [one person’s] impression of the spirit of transcendentalism that is associated in the minds of many with Concord, Mass.,” of the mid 19th century. This album features a performance of this landmark work by pianist Gilbert Kalish, whose intimate understanding of the piece led the Boston Globe to declare that he “quite simply owns this music.”
