On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline, we’ll hear music for Mother’s Day on the next Modern Notebook with a piece called “Wildflower” by Arturo Sandoval. Composed for harpist Yolanda Kondanassis, she says it’s a celebration of her own mother’s influence in her life, and of the irreplaceable role played by mothers everywhere.
Plus, Pauchi Sasaki’s “Mother's Hand, Healing Hand,” a piece inspired by how often she tells her son how much she loves him. And, this piece by Natacha Diels titled “automatic writing mumbles of the late hour,” composed for Olivia de Prato’s Artist-Mother Project.
We’ll also hear music by Julie Herndon, Santiago Cañón-Valencia, Eleanor Alberga, Carlijn Metselaar, Aida Shirazi, Emilie Cecilia LeBel, and others; and performances by pianist Nic Gerpe, Unheard-of//Ensemble, violist Laura Sinnerotn, violinist Miranda Cuckson, pianist Eunbi Kim with violinist Laura Cauley and cellist Amanda Gookin, Bergamot Quartet, and more.
