On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: On April 8th, 2024, a solar eclipse will sweep across North America, and over 31 million Americans are in the 100-plus mile-wide path of totality. On the next Modern Notebook, we will hear music by Jessica Meyer commissioned by the group fivebyfive and composed specifically for this monumental event.
Then, Tyler will be joined by composer Roger Zare for music and conversation. Roger is a Sarasota native, and will have a new work performed by the Sarasota Orchestra April 12-14.
Plus, music by Nico Muhly, Enrico Chapela, Donnacha Dennehy, Derrick Skye, Amy Williams, and others; and performances by harpist Chelsea Lane, Crash Ensemble, Miró Quartet with Conspirare, pianist Clare Longendyke, and more.
