Lines point every which way on Now Is the Time, Saturday, February 6th at 9 pm. Mathew Rosenblum starts us off with Sharpshooter for orchestra, and then we scale it way back to Steven Stucky’s Dialogs for solo cello from Caroline Stinson’s CD Lines.
Van Stiefel composed The Shape of Hands for electric guitar, and the Prism Saxophone Quartet takes on Miguel Zenon’s X Marks the Square. Then we return to the orchestra to close out the program, with Paul Lansky’s Line and Shadow.

Every Saturday night at 9 Eastern, Kile Smith plays new American classical music on WRTI’s Now Is the Time, at wrti.org and on HD-2. At wrti.org click on the Listen: Classical button at the top of any page. Thanks for supporting American contemporary music on WRTI!
It’s taken me awhile to give these a proper listen…thank you for introducing me to Caroline’s work, she’s my new go-to cellist of preference. Your efforts at ‘getting the music out there to be heard’ is reaching more than my ears, I’m sure.
…and of course the Zenon piece is spot-on for my tastes, too.
peace
Thanks Laura, glad you liked them!
