There is a certain stillness on a cold, clear night when the stars are shining brightly, that captures the feeling of the winter season. On a special Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline, listen for music inspired by starry skies and still moments, including a solo piano work by Chris Opperman titled "Underneath the Starlit Skies;" works by David Liptak and Emma O'Halloran inspired by constellations; and a work by Kenji Bunch that draws its inspiration from the Las Posadas holiday celebrated each year in December in the Southwestern United States.

Plus, music by Max Vinetz, Golfam Khayam, Jessie Montgomery, Mary Kouyoumdjian, Chris Cresswell, and others; and performances by Musiqa, Duo Noire, The Knights, pianist Eunmi Ko, Trio Klangspektrum, pianist Anne H. Goldberg-Baldwin, and more.
