We have a special episode for our subscribers, a recording of the pre-concert talk from our Other Minds 30th Anniversary celebration with pianist Marc-André Hamelin and composer/author Kyle Gann. You’ll hear a panel discussion between Hamelin, Gann, and Other Minds Artistic and Executive Director Charles Amirkhanian about the subject of the night’s event, Charles Ives’s Concord Sonata, followed by a lecture by Kyle Gann about the piece drawing on his research for his 2017 book Charles Ives’s Concord: Essays after a Sonata. After the episode, head over to the Other Minds website, where you can watch a video of Marc-André Hamelin’s performance of the Concord Sonata at Mills College at Northeastern University in Oakland, California.
Music: Excerpts from Piano Sonata No. 2, “Concord, Mass., 1840-1860,” by Charles Ives, performed by Marc-André Hamelin
