Continuing the two-night exploration of composer Sylvano Bussotti, who has had his greatest success in Europe, but in the early '60s he hung with John Cage and the New York School, his music representing a kind of fusion of the determinedly avant-garde New York School with the European High Modernism of the time. He had what might have been the most visually striking graphic scores out of all of them — but tonight we'll get a chance to hear how intriguing, and sometimes spectacular, his music sounds. Speaking of spectacular, the players include the cellist Frances-Marie Uitti, along with pianist Luciano Chessa and bass-baritone Nicholas Isherwood.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Great great beer at St. Gambrinus. The food is, um, there.
