Another of those wonderful Angel's Share concerts in a crypt in Green-Wood Cemetery, preceded by a local whiskey tasting on a bluff in the grounds.  This program, given by a truly sterling piano duo (they play so closely together you'd think they were identical twin sisters or something), is dedicated to Leonard Bernstein -- whose grave is steps away from the crypt!  So the show opens and closes with pieces by (or arranged by) Bernstein.  Between them is a set of pieces by several of my most favorite composers, from France and America:  Poulenc, Ravel, Debussy, Bolcom, Nancarrow (!) (all they'd have to do is add Morton Feldman and I'd move into the crypt).  This is sold out, of course (I mean:  whiskey!  the Cemetery!  a crypt!) -- but last-minute cancellations do pop up.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Sea Witch has the following advantages:  (1) the beer selection is very good, (2) the food is surprisingly palatable, (3) the staff and crowd are very congenial, (4) there's a huge aquarium behind the bar, and (5) it'll still be serving after you've made your way out of the Cemetery following the concert.
