On this week’s Modern Notebook, join Tyler Kline for Ilari Kaila’s Cameo for flute, viola, and piano; the Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet by Ellen Taafe Zwilich… and, the Sinfonia for Eight Voices and Orchestra by Luciano Berio, which is perhaps the composer’s most important and groundbreaking work.

Plus: performances by Big Dog Little Dog, the Pacifica Quartet, pianist Eunmi Ko with the McCormick Percussion Group, pianist Chen-Hui Jen, and cellist Anssi Karttunen; and music by Paula Matthusen, John Liberatore, Toru Takemitsu, and Kaija Saariaho.



That’s Sunday night from 8 to 10 on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
