Review: Voices of Change and Dallas Chamber Music Society serve up modern American works
The Viano String Quartet turned in a fine performance at the Dallas Chamber Music Society concert.

Two area concerts this week explored an array of American musical styles in the 20th and 21st centuries from jazz and folk idioms to minimalism. Each concert also included a late and rarely heard chamber work by a European composer born in the 19th century.
The performances were presented by Voices of Change, Dallas’ modern music ensemble, and the Dallas Chamber Music Society. I heard both via livestreams, although DCMS also had an in-person audience.

A South African student waits out her pregnancy, studying remotely from a small rented room in pandemic isolation; an Afghan boxer gets deported from Iran in a pandemic sweep, ending his hope of settling in the West; a French entrepreneur sees his business moment stalled by pandemic shutdowns. They are three of twelve 21-year-olds the Monitor closely followed during the last three months of 2020 to offer a glimpse of how a generation is coping, in real time, with a crisis likely to define it for decades to come.
21 in ‘21: Does a Pandemic Define a Generation?
Loading the player.
For many societies, 21 is a significant age. It’s a period of promise and potential, of leaving behind childhood to forge a way into the world. So what happens when a global pandemic stalls that momentum?
Twelve young adults answer that question in the Monitor’s new special global report, “21 in ’21.” Our reporters spent three months following 21-year-olds in 11 countries as they navigated the pandemic and the ways that it’s changing the world around them.
This episode of “Rethinking the News” features Ryan Lenora Brown, the “21 in ’21” lead reporter. She talks about how the project came to be, the diversity of experiences among the 21-year-olds, and the common threads they all share – wherever they are in the world.
