Beautiful Bonds

Dear all,

This week, let’s celebrate the power of teamwork, from masterful collaborations between composers and performers to the uplifting camaraderie of sports.

Worth Listening To

Today’s recommendation is Solos by Bryce Dessner, a celebrated composer and guitarist of The National. Besides Dessner himself, the album features several superb soloists - among them, two of my favorite musicians, Anastasia Kobekina and Pekka Kuusisto - whose virtuosic performances breathe life into Dessner’s beautiful compositions for solo instruments.

Worth Watching

Rumor has it that a fourth season of Ted Lasso is in the works for 2025. If you haven’t watched Seasons 1-3 of this 13-time Emmy Award-winning series, I urge you to do so immediately.

All my best -
David
