Strings and percussion unite to bring the outside world into the Pulitzer Arts Foundation galleries. Kaija Saariaho invokes the Japanese gardens of Kyoto with field recordings of nature and ritual singing. Windy, high-altitude string harmonics soar in music by John Luther Adams, and Samuel Adams’ new quintet for strings and percussion radiates with light and shadow.
