Caroline Shaw is on BBC World Service’s Music Life with fellow musicians Patrick Watson, Weyes Blood (with whom Vagabon is touring North America this spring), and Flume. They discuss the idea of perfection as a route to self-sabotage, the pressure to share more of one’s personal life, and more. You can hear their conversation here.

Caroline Shaw is on the latest episode of BBC World Service’s Music Life with fellow musicians Patrick Watson, Weyes Blood (with whom Vagabon will be touring North America this spring), and Flume. They discuss the idea of perfection as a route to self-sabotage, the pressure to share more of one’s personal life, and more. You can hear their conversation via Spotify and Apple Music here:

Evergreen, Caroline Shaw’s new album with Attacca Quartet, has been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance and made several year’s best lists, including three from NPR Music: favorite lists from critic Nate Chinen and editor Sheldon Pearce (“a stunning ode to the quartet”) and the 10 Best Classical Albums of 2022 (“some of the finest string quartet music of recent times ... irresistible”). You can get it and hear it here.

Caroline Shaw and So Percussion recently completed the first leg of a tour featuring music from their 2021 album, Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part. The tour resumes at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, on January 30, followed by shows in Chapel Hill, Philadelphia, New York City, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, and Santa Monica.

    The original cast album of Adam Guettel’s Broadway musical Days of Wine and Roses, with a book by Craig Lucas, starring Kelli O’Hara and Brian d’Arcy James, will be released on CD on May 17, following its recent digital release.  “Repeated listenings compound the amazement,” the New York Times says of Guettel’s work, which “has always offered that kind of challenge—initially leaving a feeling of: Beautiful, but wait, I need to hear it again—and those up for it have a way of coming away shining like Moses down from the Mount. The new score has the same effect.”
