The Staves, who recently completed a winter tour of the United States, stopped by Yellow Couch Studio in Pittsburgh while on the road and performed two songs for the studio's sessions series: "Make It Holy," from the trio's 2015 Nonesuch Records debut album, If I Was, and a take on Jackson Browne's "These Days." You can watch both performances below.

"It's hard to imagine a more enchanting and talented trio than The Staves," says Yellow Couch's Steven Foxbury. "I've been a fan of their music for years and when I received word that they would do the series, I bugged out. They were a treat to work with—charming and funny—and they are capable of making music that heals and inspires. A regular heap of rare and impressive talents, The Staves are!"

The Staves will perform at the BottleRock festival in Napa, California, at the end of May and then head to the UK and Ireland to tour. They return to the States to be artists in residence at Justin Vernon's Eaux Claires festival in June. For details, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

    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.”

    Composer Steve Reich talks about creating his 1970–71 piece Drumming—which the Village Voice hailed as “the most important work of the whole minimalist music movement"—in a new video from his publisher Boosey & Hawkes. Steve Reich and Musicians gave the world premiere performance of Drumming at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in December 1971. Their 1987 Nonesuch recording is included in the forthcoming Steve Reich Collected Works, a twenty-seven disc box set, due March 14.
