■ Now that we’ve zoomed past the 100-day mark of the lockdown, many are looking wistfully back on such occasions as the last concert they attended, etcetera. The pandemic also suspended taping of the popular Tiny Desk Concert series, and this past week NPR shared the last one, recorded on March 11, with some background on how the day went. The session featured Sudan Archives (joined by Dominic Johnson on viola, Jessica McJunkins on violin and Khari Joyner on cello), Read more about it, and how the rest of the day went at NPR HQ, here.
