- The Danish String Quartet updates some traditional Danish folk tunes.
- Luciano Berio’s globe-trotting masterwork for voice and orchestra, Folk Songs.
- Pianist Nicholas Phillips performs a work by Reena Esmail based on the Hindustani Raag Basant.
- Music by Julia Wolfe that speculates where the legendary John Henry came from.
