Barbara White: ‘Where Stone Flows’ and ‘Lorica,’ Riley Lee and guests

Princeton University faculty member Barbara White’s two new works, for shakuhachi Grand Master Riley Lee and guest performers, marry Celtic imagery and traditional shakuhachi vocabulary. Where Stone Flows is “a meditation on time and transformation inspired by an encounter with an iceberg.” Lorica is “a blessing, a song of well-wishing.” Lee also performs new works by graduate student composers Ellie Cherry, Francisco del Pino, Gladstone Deluxe, Hope Littwin, and Soo Yeon Lyuh.
