Coming up on the next Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: Imagine taking a short walk through a New York City neighborhood, and hearing all the different sounds: sounds of the city’s energy, the multicultural aural palette of its inhabitants, strains of English consort, samba, swing, and techno. On this week’s show, we’ll hear a work by Jessie Montgomery titled “Coincident Dances,” which captures all of this and more.

Then: Composer Errollyn Wallen recounts that her Cello Concerto took some time to write, and likens the process to something like being a sculptor – as if she was chiselling out notes from a lump of granite to produce the music. However, despite this rocky metaphor, the result is actually quite lyrical and flowing, and even emotional.

Tune in for that, plus music by Carlos Simon, Nia Imani Franklin, Jonathan Bailey Holland, Shawn E. Okpebholo, Courtney Bryan, Darian Donovan Thomas, Tyriq Baker, Pamela Z, and others; and performances by Transient Canvas, Chicago Sinfonietta, baritone Will Liverman and pianist Paul Sanchez, Ensemble Pi, Sphinx Virtuosi, pianist Robert Fleitz, flutist Claire Chase, and more.
