In this week's episode of the Music to my Ears podcast, we talk to the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, violinist and producer Caroline Shaw about the music that underscores her day-to-day life and how she balances the various facets of her fascinating career. Orange, her album of string quartets recorded and performed by the Attacca Quartet, was nominated for a BBC Music Magazine Award earlier this year. Freya Parr spoke to Caroline over Zoom from her home in Amherst, Massachusetts.\nRecordings featured:\nVerdi: La Traviata \u2018Dite alle giovine\u2019 \xad\u2013 Anna Netrebko, Vienna Philharmonic/Carlo Rizzi (DG 475933)\nTune-Yards: Water Fountain\nBach: Partita No. 2: V.
