On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Highways, winter landscapes, a honking horn before disappearing into the distance — Henry Dorn’s “Mid-Michigan Miniatures”captures the feeling of driving across Michigan. It’s music rooted in travel, family, and the slow quiet of pandemic life.
Then: Restless, layered, and rhythmically charged — Ken Thomson’s Uneasy lives up to its name. The music builds in long, sweeping gestures that clash, collide, and dissolve into near silence before rising again.
Also featuring music by Hector del Curto, Katherine Bergman, Nils Vigeland, Ilari Kaila, Allen Brings, Jessie Montgomery, Leilehua Lanzilotti, Blair Boyd, David West, and Vivian Fung; and performances by Apollo Chamber Players, Winona Symphony Orchestra, pianist Jing Yang, Saxophone in Progress Duo, cellist Karen Ouzounian, pianist Adrienne Kim, flutist Lindsey Goodman, Third Coast Percussion, violinist Michael Jinsoo Lim, trumpeter Kenken Gorder, vibraphonist Kevin Zetina, violinists Davis West and Teagan Faran, and the Jasper String Quartet.
