The series will be displayed on the 2nd floor of Madison Central Library during October and November of 2016. Please visit the opening reception as part of MMOCA Gallery Night, which will also feature a string sextet playing arrangements of Lundberg's compositions for solo double bass.

New York City-based brass quartet The Westerlies are thrilled to announce their self-titled sophomore album, due October 7, 2016, via Songlines. The first music shared from the album comes in the form of "Saro" (trad., arr. Sam Amidon/Nico Muhly), an old British ballad that was one of the first pieces ever adapted by The Westerlies. The track was premiered via NPR Music's "Songs We Love" series, where they noted that "The Westerlies' rendition has no vocals, but you still feel the heartache... The tune is played unadorned in soft, breathy tones that imply stillness, like the distant sound of a bugler's 'Taps.'"
