Build a House tells the story of an enslaved family that will not be moved, and the music that sustains them. Giddens will be reading the book and performing this month: a community outreach book reading at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on October 22, and at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum on October 13.
In addition to the book release, Giddens’ fall includes key concerts as a Carnegie Hall Perspectives Artist for the 2022–23 season, including a duo performance with Turrisi in Weill Recital Hall on October 15 and with Our Native Daughters in Stern Auditorium on November 4.
Her appearances continue at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on November 12 as part of the Rock My Soul festival; and the LA Opera debut of Omar on October 22. Omar was created by Giddens with composer Michael Abels (Get Out). It was inspired by the autobiographical writings of Omar Ibn-Said (1770–1864), a Muslim scholar forcibly taken from his native Senegal and enslaved in North and South Carolina. Omar will be performed by five more top opera companies in the US over the next two years. You can watch her discuss the piece on CBS Sunday Morning.
Giddens has also scored music for Questlove’s new film Descendants coming out this month. She performed with Paul Simon at Newport Folk Festival, and at the Grammy Salute to the Songs of Paul Simon, which was taped earlier this year and will air on CBS this fall. Black Lucy and the Bard, the Nashville Ballet production scored by Giddens, recently aired on PBS’ Great Performances and was deemed “marvelous television” by the Wall Street Journal. Giddens was named the Artistic Director of the Silkroad Ensemble and spoke about her work with PBS Newshour. She is the Music Director for the 2023 Ojai Music Festival.

The Way Out of Easy, the new album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose—is now available on all streaming platforms. Upon the album's physical release last month, it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, and Pitchfork named it Best New Music, saying: "The vibe is laid-back, but it rewards rapt attention ... This exceptional record fixes your attention on the present moment."
The twenty-seven disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is due March 14, 2025, on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's forty years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes twenty-four discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.
