A couple of years ago, I attended, and reviewed, an extraordinary recital, by flutist Claire Chase. In support of the  New Music Solidarity Fund, she is giving a four-hour recital this Thursday, running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time; that's 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on West Coast. She's streaming the recital from her living room.

I encourage everyone with an interest in new music, the flute repertory, and just plain great music making to listen in! If you're in a position to donate to the New Music Solidarity Fund, please do that as well.
