Music of Caroline Shaw

Earlier this year, Caroline Shaw became the youngest-ever winner of the Pulitzer Prize for music when, at 30, she snatched the gold with her Partita for 8 Voices. If you'd like a crash course in Shaw's works—and you really should—you could do a lot worse than this two-evening primer hosted by WNYC's Fresh Sounds Live, in which Shaw will perform with both of the bands she runs with: a cappella consort Roomful of Teeth on Oct 15, and the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (in which Shaw plays violin) on Oct 16.
