Max Richter: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Half way through this performance of Max Richter's achingly beautiful On The Nature Of Daylight, I looked around our NPR Music office and saw trembling chins and tearful eyes. Rarely have I seen so many Tiny Desk audience members moved in this way. There's something about Max Richter's music that triggers deep emotions.
In Daylight, which has been effectively used in movies such as Arrival and Shutter Island, a simple theme rolls out slowly in the low strings until a violin enters with a...

Stephen Shames
The young people Stephen Shames photographed in the late 1970s, in the best of the American documentary photographic tradition, were born poor in America, abandoned by adults and institutions, plagued by the violence of society. Stephen Shames becomes their spokesperson. Through his photographs and their dissemination, in particular in the form of books with engaged purpose, he insists on the idea that it is poverty which is at the root of all social problems and criminal behavior.

Carl Phillips - Wake Up
The road down from everything even you had hardly dared
to hope for has its lonely stretches,yes,but it’s hard to feel alone
entirely:there’s a river that runs beside it the whole way down,
and there’s an over-song that keeps the river company:I’m leaves,
you're the wind…
I used to think the song had to do with the leaves’
confusion,the wind letting up,their mistaking this for something
like courtesy on the wind’s part,or even forgiveness.But leaves don’t
get confused.Silly,to think it.And what can...
Joyce DiDonato: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Jan. 15, 2020 | Tom Huizenga -- When opera star Joyce DiDonato told us she wanted to sing centuries-old Italian love songs at the Tiny Desk we weren't surprised. But when she said she was bringing a jazz band to back her up, we did a double take. But that's Joyce, always taking risks. After all, the last time we filmed the down-to-earth diva, she insisted on singing an opera aria at the Stonewall Inn, the iconic gay tavern in Greenwich Village.
On paper, the idea of jazzing up old classical...

Denis Dailleux - Ghana
I first discovered Ghana when I came across the beautiful book Paul Strand dedicated to this country. It made such an incredible impression on me that on that day, I promised myself that I would one day go and photograph Ghana.
After Gallimard Editions published my book "Fils de Roi" - a work entirely dedicated to Egypt -, I felt that the time had come for me to find new sources of inspiration. In search of fresh landscapes and new ways of being, I set out to explore Sub-Saharan...
