David Byrne brings his American Utopia world tour to South America for sets at two Lollapalooza festivals this weekend, performing at Parque O'Higgins in Santiago tonight, as part of Lollapalooza Chile, and Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires on Sunday, for Lollapalooza Argentina.

Byrne shared a video for "Everybody's Coming To My House" from his new album, American Utopia, featuring a performance by Detroit School of Arts Vocal Jazz Ensemble students. He spoke about it with Trevor Noah on The Daily Show. You can watch both here. Tune in to hear Byrne's Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 this Sunday.

"American Utopia is an album full of pulsating beats and rich textures," says Stereogum. "The new album isn't a throwback; it feels like it could only exist right now." Q says: "Byrne remains as playful and brilliant as ever."

Pianist Jeremy Denk gives a solo recital at Cornell University’s Bailey Hall in Ithaca, New York, tonight. The program includes works by Mozart, Prokofiev, Beethoven, and Schumann. Denk also speaks to Professor Rebecca Harris-Warrick’s class “Classical Music from 1750,” which is open to the public for the occasion this morning.

Tigran Hamasyan joins the Yerevan State Chamber Choir, led by Harutyun Topikyan, in performing his piece for piano and voices Luys i luso at Het Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on Saturday afternoon.

Hamasyan recently released For Gyumri, a companion EP to last year’s album An Ancient Observer, for which he has received an ECHO Jazz 2018 nomination.

k.d. lang continues her US Ingénue Redux Tour with concerts at Peabody Opera House in St. Louis tonight and Goodyear Theater in Akron on Saturday. The Portland Mercury praises “this brilliant performer’s unwavering moxie and the supernatural voice she commands with bewildering, effortless, and heart-wrenching precision.” The Los Angeles Times says: “Ingénue sounds as great today as it did upon its release … And what a rich experience it remains.”

Audra McDonald is in Florida this weekend, joining the Naples Philharmonic at Hayes Hall in Naples tonight, followed by a solo performance at Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach on Saturday.

Saxophonist Joshua Redman continues a European run of tour dates with the Reis Demuth Wiltgen Trio, joining the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, led by Vince Mendoza, at Philharmonie Luxembourg tonight, and leading their own trio-plus show at Théâtre des Louvrais in Pontoise, France, on Saturday.

Nonesuch releases Still Dreaming, an album by Redman, drummer Brian Blade, bassist Scott Colley, and trumpeter Ron Miles, on May 25.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
