James Ilgenfritz, a sort-of-jazz bassist/composer, deals a blow to genre with his Anagram Ensemble, on this night composed of a rather awesome assemblage of first-rank players and singers on the New York alt-classical scene.  They perform, among other things, a new opera by Ilgenfritz that promises "a surreal vision of self-regulation in a society obsessed with shifting culpability and consequence".  Death to genre, life to great shows like this one.
