On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Jessie Montgomery’s “Coincident Dances” is music she says is inspired by the sounds found in New York City’s various cultures, and fuses together the sound-worlds of English consort, samba, techno, and more.
Then, we’ll hear a minimalist work by Julius Eastman titled “Joy Boy;” the string quartet Brooklyn Rider performs a work by Matana Roberts; and the Violin Concerto No. 1 by Eleanor Alberga.
Featuring works by Darian Donovan Thomas, Courtney Bryan, Carlos Simon, Leila Adu-Gilmore, and others; and performances by escapeVelocity, Duo Noire, Chicago Sinfonietta, cellist Amanda Gookin, Infrasound, and more.
