Adam Tendler: Inheritances
In this episode of Reverberations, host Majel Connery talks to pianist Adam Tendler about his upcoming album, Inheritances. This commissioning project became a live show and, ultimately, an album containing compositional pieces by Laurie Anderson, Missy Mazzoli, Devonté Hynes, and many more artists. Connery and Tendler talk about fragments on Inheritances that involve Adam’s speaking and singing voice. They also discuss Adam’s views on the relationship between music, grief, public healing, and queerness in music.
