On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: tune in for solo cello music by Canadian-Argentine composer Analia Llugdar composed for Matt Haimovitz’s Primavera project… it’s a work that captures a sense of breath via all the different sounds of the cello.
Then: Jena Osman’s collection of essay-poems MOTION STUDIES is the foundation of Justine F. Chen’s piece “Shallow Breath and Stealth.” It’s a massive choral work that draws on Osman’s meditations that begin with 19th-century science and ends as research into the present day.
Plus, music by Chloe Knibbs, Andy Akiho, Milton Nascimento, Osnat Netzer, Tyshawn Sorey, Norio Fukushi, Hee Yun Kim, and others; and performances by City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, fivebyfive, pianist Cory Smythe, the Crossing, flutist Tessa Brinckman with guitarist Caroline Delume, and more.
Tune in Sunday night from 8 to 10 ET on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9. Streaming at wsmr.org.
