Today's Video of the Day is a performance of Phillip Glass' 'Echorus' by violinists Anne Akiko Meyers and Aubree Oliverson at the 2024 Laguna Music Festival.
On June 13, violinist Anne Akiko Meyers releases Philip Glass Violin Concerto No.1, with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel. The album also includes the world-premiere recording of New Chaconne, a work that meditates on friendship, collaboration, and the joy of music making, which Glass composed for Meyers in 2023 after the two met in New York. Emmanuel Ceysson, the principal harpist of the L.A. Phil accompanies Meyers on the track. Closing the album is Glass’s Echorus (1994–95), performed by Meyers and rising star Aubree Oliverson with the Colburn School’s Academy Virtuosi. This marks Meyers’s third album on the Platoon label.
Meyers is also Gramophone's July Cover star, out today!
