Coming up on Modern Notebook this week: Tyler Kline shares music by Nico Muhly titled Seeing is Believing, and Dorothy Hindman’s Fission for symphonic winds from a new album of the composer’s work. Plus, a work by Connor D’Netto called Susurrus, which is named for a word that alludes to quiet wind, and explores the possibilities of sounds the violin can make.


Plus, works by Jeffrey Mumford, Barbara White, Andrew Norman, Anne Leilehua Lanzilotti, Anna Weesner, and others; and performances by Shannon Reilly, Transient Canvas, Caitlin Sullivan, Yaz Lancaster, soprano Mary Nessinger with the group Sequiter, and more.



That’s on the next Modern Notebook, Sunday night from 8 to 10 EST on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9. Streaming at wsmr.org.
