One year ago, New Amsterdam Records released Julius Eastman, Vol. 4: The Holy Presence, by the renowned ensemble Wild Up. The record was nominated for a GRAMMY Award. The Holy Presence is the latest entry in Wild Up’s ongoing anthology exploring the works of Julius Eastman, the late composer who not only took innovative approaches to orchestration and musical notation but injected a defiantly Black, queer perspective into the overwhelmingly white, straight world of classical music.
