Modern Notebook for April 2 - 8, 2023

On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: hear a piano concerto by Christopher Cerrone inspired by changes of weather titled “The Air Suspended.” And within this work, the piano represents an energy source continuously transforming the strings as if they are weather patterns.
Then: the last words Steven Mackey’s mother said to him were, “Please tell everyone I had a beautiful passing.” His experience watching his mother gain control of her destiny at the end of her life inspired the story behind his violin concerto titled “Beautiful Passing,” a work where the violin gains control of its destiny, competes with, commands, and ultimately lets go of the orchestra.
Also featuring works by Baljinder Sekhon, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Eduardo Costa Roldan, Yoon-Ji Lee, Bosba Panh, and others; and performances by vibraphonist Yang Chen, saxophonist Doug O’Connor, pianist Shai Wosner with the Argus Quartet, pianist Eunmi Ko, violinist Anthony Marwood and more.
