On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: From Egyptian mythology to NASA’s golden record, Trevor Weston’s Stars explores the human fascination with the cosmos. Inspired by a poem by Robert Hayden, the piece moves through constellations, frequencies, the blues, and imagined cosmic music.
Then: Whispers, trills, and wordless textures — Wang Lu’s At Which Point reimagines the voice through surreal poetry by Forrest Gander. It’s music full of tension and strange beauty, moving from the surreal to the luminous.
Also featuring music by Elena Sprecht, Reena Esmail, Andrew York, Caterina Schembri, Marti Epstein, Jlin, Seán Doherty, Jānis Petraškevičs, and Dai Fujikura; and performances by Saxophone in Progress Duo, cellist Pierre Fontenelle, soprano Karol Bennett, Musiqa, New York City Guitar Orchestra, Ficino Ensemble, pianist Jihye Chang, Third Coast Percussion, Sonoro Quartet, pianist Robert Fleitz, and violinist Mari Kimura.
