On the next Modern Notebook, Tyler Kline shares Tania Leon’s “Esencia,” string quartet music that reflects the composer’s unique vantage point on music from the Caribbean and Latin America. And Jane Antonia Cornish’s “Sierra,” for four pianos… a vivid musical meditation on how our deep connection to nature can move us to an inner stillness and awaken the creative impulse.


Plus music by Rain Worthington, Nathaniel Heyder, Vijay Iyer, Marti Epstein, India Gailey, Hannah Peel, and others; and performances by cellist Inbal Segev, Cobalt Duo, harpist Yolanda Kondanassis, pianist Vicky Chow, Bergamot Quartet, Latitude 49, and more.
