Bombino, whose Dan Auerbach-produced album, Nomad, was released last year and landed on many a year-end best list, including those of NPR, the CBC, iTunes, and Rolling Stone, kicks off the latest leg of his world tour with two sets at the Savannah Music Festival in Savannah, Georgia, tonight, alongside Fatoumata Diawara. They perform two double bills in the North Garden of the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, closing out the penultimate night of the festival. Bombino next takes his month-long North American tour down to the TransAtlantic Festival in Miami, out West for dates in Colorado, Arizona, California, Oregon, British Columbia, Oklahoma, and Nevada, and back down South to Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. The tour includes festival sets at Coachella, Tulsa Roots Music Bash, New Orleans JazzFest, and Austin Psych Fest.

The Tuareg guitarist, singer, and songwriter next makes his way overseas to France for a three-night run in late May followed by a stream of festival dates around Europe. Following a few festival sets back in the US and Canada, Bombino and his band return to Europe for additional festival sets.

    Congratulations to composer and pianist Timo Andres on receiving the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Elise L. Stoeger Prize—a $25,000 cash prize, awarded biennially by CMS to recognize significant contributions to the field of chamber music composition. Andres says: “I feel equally challenged and freed to take risks when I write chamber music, and writing it, I’ve learned the most about becoming a better composer and musician. To be recognized in this medium by one of its greatest institutional standard-bearers is a huge and unexpected honor.”

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”
