INFO + TICKETS
An amazingly good free show. The big news is a rarer-than-rare performance (indeed, a world premiere in this edition) of the Second Symphony of the great great Post-Minimalist Julius Eastman, whose rough 'n refined music cannot be heard enough. That by itself ought to be sufficient to get you to the Upper West Side. But the rest of the bill is also pretty enticing: an instrumental piece by they-used-to-call-it "indie" classicist Sarah Kirkland Snider, and something else you don't see everyday, an airing of the Third Symphony of the marvelous Finnish neo-tonalist Einojuhani Rautavaara.
