My favorite band.  Among the gems on the bill this night of audio-visual chamber music and sonic theatrics — involving one-count-it-one costume change! — is the U.S. premiere of a Robert Ashley piece that the artistes explain conveys "the bilingual oracular statements of Hector Berlioz, as played by Alvin Lucier imitating Dr. Chicago, 'translated' into the creamy poetry and instrumental lilts of Robert Ashley".  What could be better than THAT?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Barcelona-style wine, cocktails, and tapas at El Born.
