On the next Modern Notebook, hear Sophia Jani’s “Saturn Years,” which is inspired by the 29-year astrological cycle of Saturn’s return, marking new beginnings in one’s life. And Žibuoklė Martinaitytė’s “Sielunmaisema:” in Finnish meaning a “soul-landscape,” and inspired by the four seasons.

Also, pieces by Gabriela Lena Frank, Kurt Rohde, David Balakrishnan, Tan Dun, and others; and performances by flutist Barry Crawford, The Danish String Quartet, violinist Anna Presler with pianist Eric Zivian, pianist Eunbi Kim, and more.
