Holy crap. Is this like the best-looking Music Mondays free concert of all time? Jennifer Koh is one of the most probing, adventurous, and adept violinists now before the public. Davóne Tines may be the most exciting baritone I know of (that sounds like hyperbole — but I swear that everybody I send to see him comes back totally blown away). They'll perform a set of pieces for violin and voice, or violin solo, by such composers as Missy Mazzoli, Du Yun, Julia Wolfe, Andrew Norman, and, oh yeah, Bach and (adulterated) Beethoven. Bang For The Buck with a bullet.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Peruvian-Japanese Nikkei food is getting SO much attention these days that I feel like I have to keep mentioning Peruvian-Chinese Chifa just out of fairness: Flor de Mayo.
