I'm mainly recommending this program of New Music by mostly Italian composers for a piece by a Canadian/New York ringer:  Zosha Di Castri, who aptly describes herself as a "composer/sound artist", crafting soundscapes through which enthralled listeners can journey.  A transcription of a piece by Gesualdo, one of the most bizarre of the Baroque composers, doesn't hurt.  And the concert is presented by a descendant of a program initiated by Lorenzo Da Ponte!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Speaking of things from Italy, you can do a lot worse than the hearty Italian food at Max Soha.
