This week on Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: hear pieces by Keyla Orozco, Maeve Gilchrist, and others. And, music for steel pan and wind quintet by Andy Akiho, titled “BeLonging.”
Plus: When it was time for composer Gabriel Erkoreka to write his first piano concerto, he figured he would put a bit of himself into it: after all, the piano is his primary instrument. But he found other ways to do it: born under the sun sign of Pisces, he decided to draw on the symbolism of Pisces as the inspiration for this piece.
Hear that, and music by James MacMillan, Kitty Xiao, Beyza Yazgan, Jessica Ackerly, Kurt Rohde, Courtney Bryan, and others; and performances by Aizuri Quartet, Nimbus Trio, Imani Winds, Unheard-of//Ensemble, cellist Rhonda Rider, Ensemble Pi, and more.
