There are at least two things that are remarkable about this concert. First is that New York, which after '50s/'60s heyday of the Pro Musica Antiqua has supported only a lame Early Music scene, now is the home to one of the best Early Music bands in the world: ACRONYM. Second is the incredible treasure trove of Early Baroque manuscripts forming the Düben Collection, since the early 18th Century housed in Uppsala University. This afternoon, ACRONYM and several distinguished (New York based!) singers peform pieces from that great collection.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Delicious, hearty, not-what-you'd-expect Northern Chinese at Dun Huang Upper West Side.
