New Music superstars JACK Quartet present a program dedicated to the proposition -- a surprise to no one -- that much contemporary classical music has a lot in common with spare, static Medieval music.  While this is not a program to shock anyone, it was great to hear these different musics bouncing off each other when the JACK played it at the Medieval Sculpture Hall at the Met a few years ago -- and it should be just as magical here in the Green-Wood Cemetery catacombs.  As always in this series, a pre-performance whiskey tasting should put you in the mood (some kind of mood, in any event).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  The Sea Witch is an inevitable recommendation, because it's the only decent place in the neighborhood that will reliably be open after the show.  Good thing, then, that's it's actually better than just decent, with a good beer selection and surprisingly good pub grub.
