Matt Marks, recently deceased at the tragically young age of 38, was an excellent musician and a wonderful composer.  He personified the new, audience-friendly, pop-inflected school of contemporary classical.  This memorial for him features performances by such of Marks's friends and admirers as Alarm Will Sound (of which Marks was a founding member), Hotel Elefant, and Kathleen Supové -- as well as a choir of Marks's fellow horn-players.  There will be pot-luck food, and attendees are encouraged to bring edibles that can be consumed standing.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Drown your sorrows at Grand Army Bar.  You can snack well there as well.
