Nico Muhly / Cenk Ergün

Episode 7: Pioneer Women and a 'Rabid' String Quartet

Josh takes the pod to the prairie via a work for choir and twelve guitars while Jon wants to talk to you about a very serious, important issue: packs of stray wild dogs that control most of the cities in North America (and show up during a passage in the piece for string quartet he brings).

Featuring performances of Nico Muhly’s “The Night Herders” (from How Little You Are) by Conspirare, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, the Austin Guitar Quartet, and the Texas Guitar Quartet, and Cenk Ergün’s Sonare by the JACK Quartet.
