This week on Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: hear music by Bianca Gismonti performed by pianist Andree-Ann Deschenes, as well as pieces by Danielle Eva Schwob and Ariana Grande.. And, a work by Gabriel Vicens titled “El Mattoral.”
Then: Weather becomes the main character in the text set by Christopher Cerrone in his work Beaufort Scales - which takes its name from the 19th Century measuring system for wind and waves. Interestingly, the scale is also quite poetic and forms the backbone of Cerrone’s piece.
Also featuring music by David Maslanka, Tamar-Kali, Robert Schultz, and others; and performances by violinist Alexi Kenney, saxophonist Julian Velasco with pianist Winston Choi, flutist Nathalie Joachim with harpist Kristi Shand and violist Wei-Yang Andy Lin, cellist Inbal Segev, Lorelei Ensemble, and more.
