Musical inspiration can come from anywhere. For Maurice Ravel, the new
Erard harp prompted a sparkling mini-concerto. Deantha Edmunds explores
her Inuit heritage and identity in tenderly radiant poetry and music.
John Novacek's brilliant new trio celebrates the legacy of Colombian
clarinetist Lucho Bermúdez; and the piano virtuosity of Clara Schumann
inspired her husband's extroverted Piano Quartet.
