On this week’s Modern Notebook with Tyler Kline: we’ll be getting a little spooky with a program right in time for Halloween! I’ll be sharing a works inspired by “nightmare fuel,” mythical beasts, and imaginary images; a trio by Jennifer Higdon that takes us into a “Dark Wood;” and this work by Shuying Li, “The Last Hivemind,” inspired by an episode of the horror series Black Mirror.

Also featuring works like Missy Mazzoli’s “Hail, Horrors, Hail;” music for saxophone and orchestra by Lei Liang inspired by a real life ghost story; and clarinetist Andy Hudson performs music by Rosśa Crean based on a wordless horror graphic novel by Thomas Ott.

With more music by Mat Campbell, Matt Barber, Kirk O’Riordan, Meg Okura, Kate Soper, Emily Koh, Lei Liang, and others; and performances by Foot in the Door Ensemble, pianist Eunmi Ko with the McCormick Percussion Group, pianist Holly Roadfeldt, clarinetist Tasha Warren with cellist Dave Eggar, violinist Jennifer Koh, Wet Ink Ensemble, and more.
