"It was on today’s date in 1922 that English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams conducted the American premiere of his Symphony No. 3 (Pastoral) at the Litchfield County music festival in Norfolk, Connecticut. It was his first trip to the U.S., and he reacted to American landscapes and customs with wonder and amusement." https://www.yourclassical.org/episode/2021/06/07/composers-datebook-ralph-vaughan-williams
I've long been a fan of Héloïse Werner and her work with The Hermes Experiment. She has a new album coming out at the end of this month. She has released one single ahead of that album, the second album to be released under her name.
