Coming up on the next Modern Notebook, hear music by Deen T. Grossman titled “Waterways,” which musically portrays Oregon’s Willamette River, and Finola Merivale’s “The Language of Mountains is Rain,” inspired by the landscape of Hong Kong: maximum urban density surrounded by mountains and the sea.


Plus: music by Jeffrey Mumford, Tonia Ko, Michael-Thomas Foumai, Niloufar Nourbakhsh, and others; and performances by Desdemona, violinist Lucia Lin with harpist Charles Overton, RighteousGIRLS, Unheard-of//Ensemble, and more.
