On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: with fall time here, it seems like a good time to make a bit of chili. So, tune in for a work titled Cello Chili by composer Brent Michael Davids: complete with a recipe for a stew made of green chiles and pieces of cello.
Then: We welcome in the month of November with the music of Toru Takemitsu… we’ll hear his double concerto for biwa and shakuhachi titled November Steps.
Also featuring pieces by Yoko Kanno, Melissa D’Albora, Takuma Tanikawa, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Alvin Singleton, Orlando Jacinto Garcia, and others. And performances by pianist Isabel Dobarro, flutist Lindsey Goodman, The Merian Ensemble, cellist Bryan Hayslett, yMusic, cellist Seth Parker Woods, and more.
