It is almost impossible to speak of Margaret Leng Tan without using the phrase "doyenne of the toy piano" (and let's not forget the prepared piano as well).  Any recital of hers is a sure bet.  This one, part of the Women Composers' Festival being held this month at Spectrum, features pieces by, among others, fellow toy piano mistress Phyllis Chen and (this is important) the wrenching, criminally underperformed Bunita Marcus.  Not to mention a reprise of the spectacularly difficult new piece by List fave Kelly Moran that Tan premiered at the Ecstatic Music Festival last month.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  This should end early enough to permit a nice stroll around the Navy Yard over to the ineffably charming Vinegar Hill House.
