Modern Notebook for May 18, 2025


Listen Later

On the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Reinaldo Moya’s Minnesota Suite paints three vivid scenes: towering red pines, the deep stillness of lake country, and the open sweep of prairie. It’s a musical journey across the state he’s called home for nearly a decade.

Then: Jazz, rock, and Armenian folk all shape Tigran Hamasyan’s Sonata for Percussion. It’s music that grooves and challenges — built from asymmetrical patterns that never lose their melodic core.

Also featuring music by Derek A. McKinney and Marcos Mares-McKinney, Heeyoung Yang, Frederic Hand, Julianna Voelker, Paul Wiancko, Punch Brothers, Eve Beglarian, and Ayanna Woods; and performances by violinist Davide Alogna, London Symphony Orchestra, pianist Eun-Hee Park, Winona Symphony Orchestra, New York City Guitar Orchestra, Saxophone in Progress Duo, Owls, cellist Pierre Fontenelle, accordionist Frin Wolter, violinist Alexi Kenney, and The Crossing.
