On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: The energy, fluidity, and great speed of the rapids of Niagara Falls was the inspiration for Oliver Knussen's “Coursing:” and what courses through the music is a singular melody that is stretched and pulled to various lengths to convey the force of water.
Then, for her latest album, violinist Olivia de Prato posed the question: can a woman be both an artist and a mother? The album is called “I AM: Artist Mother Project,” and the composers de Prato collaborated with have committed to being dedicated mothers while still pursuing their goals and dreams in music and art. We’ll hear a new work by Ha-Yang Kim from the project this week.
Also featuring music by Jing Jing Luo, Courtney Bryan, Marti Epstein, Osnat Netzer, David Sandford, Ahmed Alabaca, Yaz Lancaster, Cara Haxo, Brent Michael Davids, and others; and performances by pianist Mary Kathleen Ernst, Duo Noire, flutist Jennifer Grim, steel pan soloist Yang Chen, fivebyfive, South Dakota Symphony, and more.
