A Far Cry -- Boston's version of The Knights -- presents an entirely diverting Summer concert (pun, as you'll see, intended) of pieces for string orchestra.  There's a Mozart Divertimento (Mozart's Divertimenti have to be my favorite light music).  And Bartok's Divertimento:  probably the most sheerly entertaining work this composer of often grating, muscular music (not that there's anything wrong with that) ever produced.  Philip Glass's almost Neo-Classical Third Symphony.   And Golijov's Tenebrae:  a very fine work from before that composer fizzled out.  This really is perfect stuff for a Summer night.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm going to send you to Bar Pleiades for excellent cocktails and very good bar food.
