This week, I talk to violist, writer, and ethnomusicologist Tanya Kalmanovitch (faculty, New England Conservatory and Mannes School of Music). This one is a heavy one, and it was awesome. We talk about the Kalmanovitch-Maneri Duo and their upcoming album Magic Mountain, free improvisation, performing, connecting with audiences, and musical philosophies.

This episode features two tracks from the upcoming Kalmanovitch-Maneri album Magic Mountain: "Foreward" and "The Dance of Death."
