Hard Times are over - No brutal time signatures, no existential dread— a celebration of ease, warmth, and pure unfiltered joy.
Antonin Dvořák’s lush Quartet no. 10 opens with sunny lyricism, Jessie Montgomery’s Strum pulses with rhythmic vitality, and Paul Wiancko’s American Haiku captures fleeting beauty in miniature. Plus: Danish String Quartet’s fiddle-tune bangers guaranteed to leave you humming and toe-tapping.
- Curated by Mitso Floor
