It’s a Modern Notebook gift as Tyler Kline shares a mix of new works inspired by peace, light, and the Advent. Enjoy a collection of contemporary works for voice that expands the rich tradition of choral music for the Holiday season with music by Owain Park, Sungji Hong, Joanna Forbes L'Estrange, and others. Then, it's solo piano music by Kimberly R. Osberg titled "Peace by Piece,” which is a musical choose-your-own-adventure for both listener and performer that evokes a gentle, wintry land; and Dai Fujikura's "Ghost of Christmas."
Hear music by Luciano Berio, Rasa Daukus, Kerensa Briggs, Errollyn Wallen, Caroline Shaw, Nils Frahm, and others; and performances by Tenebrae, Trio Medieval, Tess Said So, Gjermund Larsen Trio, pianist Chris Opperman, Attaca Quartet, and more.
