Ólafur Arnalds is an ambient-electronica-into-pop-but-really-it-isn't-that-far-from contemporary-classical composer/performer from Iceland.  Here, he'll play with a string quartet, a percussionist (and not just any one:  Manu Delago!), and his own electronic and acoustic keyboards.  (These shows are sold out, but the Murmrr show, at least, has a ticket exchange by which you can apply to purchase tickets whose holders no longer want them.)

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  On a Saturday night in the Village, a neighorhood spot like Georgian standby Old Tbilisi Garden is your best bet for someplace that won't be a madhouse.  For Sunday in Brooklyn, Gold Star Beer Counter has a truly awe-inspiring beer selection.  The snacky food is fine for what it is -- but you're not there for the food.
