Alexandre Lunsqui is the featured composer at the Chelsea Music Festival.

On the other coast, WasteLAnd, in Los Angeles, offers Scott Worthington's Even the Light Itself Falls on June 13, and the What's Next Ensemble stages its annual Los Angeles Composers Project concert on June 21.... This year's MATA Festival is now streaming on WQXR.... Glen Wilson's masterly series of Naxos harpsichord recordings continues with a disc devoted to the undersung Elizabethan master Ferdinando Richardson and other treasures of the period, including the astounding, anonymous "Upon la mi re." ... In a futile protest against anniversary glut, I am not listening to Richard Strauss.
