Wild Up: Julius Eastman Vol. 4: The Holy Presence

This episode of Reverberations centers on the Los Angeles-based chamber orchestra Wild Up, and their album Julius Eastman Vol. 4: The Holy Presence. The Holy Presence is the fourth in an ongoing series of releases by Wild Up celebrating the work of composer Julius Eastman, who died in 1990. Host Majel Connery speaks to Christopher Rountree, founder, conductor and creative director of Wild Up, and two of the soloists who helped shape the volume: bass-baritone Davóne Tines and cellist Seth Parker Woods. Their conversation ranges from the inspiration behind this multi-volume project to an exploration of what the “Holy Presence” entailed for Eastman, and what it should mean for us.Support the show
