On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Ljova’s Cellostatus imagines what scrolling through social media might sound like. A plucked groove pulls us in, giving way to fragments of danger, romance, and reflection — even a final movement where the soloist plays just one note.
Then: One of pianist and composer Daniel Pesca’s earliest memories is hearing his mother sing. That memory shaped his new album, Walk with me, my joy — a deeply personal collection of music about memory, connection, and finding yourself in others. Daniel will join Tyler to discuss the album on the next Modern Notebook.
Featuring music by Jonathan Pieslak, Jennifer Higdon, Ljova, Liova Bueno, Texu Kim, Amy Bryce, Kakia Gkoudina, Finola Merivale, and inti figgis-vizueta. Including performances by the New York City Guitar Orchestra, the Merian Ensemble, cellist Nicholas Finch with the NouLou Chamber Players, violinist Davide Alogna with the London Symphony Orchestra, pianist Eun-Hee Park, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain, Saxophone in Progress Duo, violinist Caroline Drexler with cellist Julia Henderson, and pianist James McVinnie.
