On the next Modern Notebook: music by J. Kimo Williams for electric violin and string quartet titled “With Malice Towards None,” and Julia Wolfe’s large scale work “Fire in My Mouth.”
Plus: it’s Halloween, so tune in for a few dark – and even ghastly – selections, like Esa Pekka-Salonen’s Insomnia, and “The Owl and the Wren,” from Kate Soper’s Voices from the Killing Jar.
Also featuring music by Kaija Saariaho, Emily Koh, and Steven Mackey; and performances by violinist Tracy Silverman with the Apollo Chamber Players, McCormick Percussion Group, Wet Ink Ensemble, and more.
Join Tyler Kline for that and more on this week’s Modern Notebook: Sunday night from 8 to 10 ET on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9. Streaming at wsmr.org.
