Hello,

Today, Spoleto Festival USA shares a single from their new collection Live from Spoleto 2025: Chamber Music, Vol. 1, the first of a two-album release capturing the Festival’s Bank of America Chamber Music series performances from the 2025 season. Terry Riley’s G Song, performed by Alexi Kenney and Geneva Lewis (violins), Ayane Kozasa (viola) and Paul Wiancko (cello) is available on all platforms today via Phenotypic Recordings—listen/share HERE.

Internationally recognized as America’s premier performing arts festival, Spoleto Festival USA is a long-standing incubator for ambitious, genre-shaping work across opera, orchestral and chamber music. As part of their exclusive multi-project partnership with Apple Music Classical, the track first arrived February 27 as an Apple Music Classical exclusive — the full first volume of Live from Spoleto 2025: Chamber Music will land next Friday, April 3.

Hear Live from Spoleto 2025: Chamber Music, Vol. 1 HERE and Vol. 2 HERE. [Please note these are private and for your listening only].

G Song offers a minimalist, meditative pause through Terry Riley’s signature blend of repetition and improvisatory grace. Its patterns slowly shift as the players shape the piece through deep listening, creating a sense of time that feels flexible and alive rather than fixed.

“Spoleto is about adventure and excitement—about how different art forms can collide with each other to create something new,” said Spoleto Festival USA General Director and CEO Dr. Mena Mark Hanna. “Chamber music is one of the Festival’s core artistic pillars, and these recordings reflect the same spirit of curiosity, daring, and immediacy that defines Spoleto Festival USA as a whole.” Live from Spoleto 2025: Orchestra, Spoleto’s first collection of the year, released March 13—listen/share HERE.
