Plus, a stunning work by Ellen Lindquist titled Mantra, for gamelan and chamber orchestra. It’s music that envelopes the listener in a sound world full of subtle detail and delicate sound textures.

Young, Ingrid Stölzel, Errollyn Wallen, and Laura Elise Schwendinger; and performances by violinist Michi Wiancko, PRISM Quartet, English horn soloist Jacqueline Leclair, National Youth Choir of Great Britain, violinist Jennifer Koh, pianist Eunmi Ko, and others.
