On Modern Notebook this week, tune in for music by Jen Wang off of the latest release from the group Wild Rumpus. Also, some very sparse solo piano music by Sophie Stone.


And a work titled “Volplaning” by Tomeka Reid: it’s solo cello music inspired by the downward gliding motion of birds.

Plus, works by Shuying Li, Tonia Ko, Kati Agócs, Carolina Heredia, Thuridur Jónsdóttir, and others; and performances by Four Corners Ensemble, Grossman Ensemble, Claremont Trio, cellist Horacio Contreras, and more.
