On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline we’ll hear a string trio by Nasim Khorassani that draws on an intensity of focus. It’s titled Growth, and throughout the piece the composer utilizes only four pitches to craft all of the musical material.
Then,music by Shuying Li inspired by an episode of the Netflix Series “Black Mirror,” as well as pieces by Kati Agócs and Hannah Selin; and a work by Heather Stebbins titled “Among Arrows.”
Featuring music by Dinah Bianchi, Missy Mazzoli, Angélica Negrón, Connor D’Netto, and others; and performances by Unheard-of//Ensemble, Arctic Philharmonic, violinist Shannon Reilly, pianist Sarah Cahill, soprano Stephanie Lamprea, Foot in the Door Ensemble, and more.
