Interview: Caroline Shaw

from KGNU Music Hosted by KGNU Music

KGNU’s Iris Berkeley speaks with composer Caroline Shaw ahead of her Denver performances with Gabriel Kahane and vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. They will perform Friday, November 8th, and Saturday, November 9th at the Newman Center. Shaw, known for her Grammy and Pulitzer-winning work, discusses her love for music’s diversity, inspired equally by classical composers and contemporary artists. Shaw and Kahane collaborated on a new piece called Hexagons, inspired by Borges' The Library of Babel. The work uses a blend of viola, piano, electronics, and vocals to evoke the fantastical, boundless library described by Borges (Interview date: 11/04/2024)
