New York Polyphony is a really terrific local four-person early music vocal ensemble. It may be that the best thing they'll ever do was naming their first album Tudor City — but they have plenty to offer beyond that. This attractive program starts in the High Middle Ages with extremely short (and extremely interesting) pieces from the Worcestor Fragments, then straddles the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in England with John Dustaple (a fabulous composer, internationally popular in his day, whom you should really get to know), and eventually moves on to the glories of the Spanish Renaissance.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: DB Bistro Moderne is not as good as it once was. But for the Theater District, it's still pretty good.
