Coming up on the next Modern Notebook: solo piano music by Timo Andres titled “Old Ground,” which draws upon Maurice Ravel’s Le Gibet. Also, works by Gabriela Lena Frank and Anna Weesner.


And Nicole Lizée’s “Keep Driving, I’m Dreaming,” a work for large orchestra that incorporates analogue and archaic devices like turntables, cassette tapes, and reel-to-reel machines.


Plus: music by Luciano Berio, Conner Simmons, and Lydia Jane Pugh; and performances by pianist Inna Faliks, violinist Miranda Cuckson with pianist Steve Beck, Del Sol String Quartet, and more.
