Her award-winning virtual-reality film receives its New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival today.

“We are in a crisis in terms of, not just what's a real story, but what is real," Anderson tells the Los Angeles Times in an interview ahead of tonight’s show. You can read what else she has to say here.

Both David Byrne and Fleet Foxes continue their US tours at the second Coachella weekend in Indio, California, playing back-to-back sets at the Outdoor Theatre starting at 7pm on Saturday. Fleet Foxes play a headlining show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley tonight.

Also this weekend, Fleet Foxes release a new, limited-edition black vinyl 7" single at independent record stores around the world for Record Store Day on Saturday. It’s a special recording of the title track to their 2017 album, Crack-Up, performed with Icelandic women’s choir Graduale Nobli, in Reykjavik, and an intimate version of "In the Morning" recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

Olivia Chaney continues her tour of Europe as special guest of Alela Diane with a sold-out show at Zonnehuis in Amsterdam on Sunday.

Chaney will release her new album, Shelter, on Nonesuch in June. The album, produced by Thomas Bartlett, features eight original songs, along with Chaney's takes on Purcell's "O Solitude" and the Everly Brothers’ "Long Time Gone.” Tickets for her record-release shows at New York’s (Le) Poisson Rouge and London’s Hoxton Hall are on sale now.

Pianist Jeremy Denk joins violinist Stefan Jackiw and the Hudson Shad vocal quartet in performing Ives’ Violin Sonatas Nos. 1–4 at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday afternoon. The Boston Globe, reviewing a performance of the program earlier this year, praises the duo’s “unapologetic—even celebratory—immersion” into the music of Ives.

Shye Ben-Tzur, Jonny Greenwood, and the Rajasthan Express are on the road as special guests of Radiohead, opening for the band on its tour of Latin America, including tonight’s set at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro and Sunday’s set at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, both part of the Soundhearts Festival. They perform songs from their 2015 album, Junun, which the Times of London called “essential listening."

Jonny Greenwood’s score to Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, Phantom Thread, released earlier this year on CD and digitally, is now available in a deluxe double-vinyl package.

---

Kronos Quartet plays the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Saturday. On the program are works by Laurie Anderson, Rhiannon Giddens, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, and more, including pieces composed for the quartet’s Fifty for the Future commissioning project.

---

Audra McDonald performs at Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University in New York on Saturday. The Boston Globe, reviewing her concert at Symphony Hall last weekend, exclaims: “Audra McDonald dazzles.”

---

Saxophonist Joshua Redman performs as special guest of the Antwerp Jazz Orchestra at CC Muze in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, tonight.

Nonesuch releases Still Dreaming, an album by Redman, drummer Brian Blade, bassist Scott Colley, and trumpeter Ron Miles, on May 25. The album, inspired by the band Old and New Dreams, of which Redman’s father Dewey was a member, is available to pre-order from the Nonesuch Store and iTunes with an instant download of the track "Unanimity."
