Laurie Anderson's new film, Heart of a Dog, has been named one of the Best Movies of 2015 by the New York Times film critic A.O. Scott, landing at No. 4 on his list of favorites.

"A meditation on love, loss and the meaning of life," Scott writes. "Dog people and Lou Reed fans will be especially susceptible (I plead guilty on both counts), but anyone who ever had a heart is likely to succumb to Ms. Anderson’s ethereal wisdom and her fierce formal wit."

Heart of a Dog continues its run at theaters across the United States, opening on still more screens this coming weekend, including the Center for Contemporary Arts in Santa Fe, where Anderson will take part in Q&A sessions at select screenings this weekend.

    Donnacha Dennehy’s Land of Winter is out now. The piece, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece." You can watch a video for “July" here.
