The draw from this List's perspective is a delightful string quartet by Paul Wiancko, known around town as an excellent cellist but also a fine, entertaining composer (I'm sure it didn't hurt in getting this piece programmed that he's the partner of the Aizuri's violist — but trust me, he didn't need it). But the rest of the program from this unstoppable quartet is all good: Komitas's always-compelling Armenian folk song realizations, and an always welcome chance — you can't hear too many — to experience one of Haydn's life-affirming quartets (in this case, from the mid-period Tost sets).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Down the street to the Burger Joint hidden in the lobby of the Parker New York Hotel.
