Opus 176

Garrett and Scott kick things off with a welcome to the holiday season and move into the New York Times' take on Sphinx, and the latest from "I Care If You Listen". The guys share music by Dear Silas, Blanco Brown, and more. Multi-time Grammy-nominated artist Curtis Stewart returns to TRILLOQUY to discuss his upcoming performance of Julia Perry's violin concerto, his approach to playing and understanding music, and how musical languages can connect and create communities.
