A very appealing entry in the Philharmonic's after-show Nightcaps series, in which singer-songwriter/composer Gabriel Kahane (himself the son of a distinguished Schubertian) leads a tour through the development of the art song from Schubert on, with the very able assistance of two ace composer/performers, Caroline Shaw and Timo Andres, as well as the Miró Quartet.  Sitting in the candle-lit Kaplan Penthouse with a drink, looking out over the Hudson, is its own reward.  (It also has to be said that the preceding Philharmonic concert [also on WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY], featuring Beethoven and Schubert conducted by the great great Iván Fischer -- and sung by the enchanting Miah Persson -- is itself very appealing.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Before, why not eat across the street at stylish Italian Lincoln?  After, your choices are P.J. Clarke's and Bar Boulud -- not such bad choices, really.
