The star event of the first week of this contemporary-leaning piano festival.  Composer Patrick Higgins is the guitarist of Zs, a galvanic band that mines No Wave, Post-Minimalist, noise, and drone in a way that makes it one of New York's premiere avant-garde music ensembles.  His piece is a trio for piano and two cellos.  And the players are Vicky Chow (of the Bang On A Can All-Stars), Jay Campbell (of the JACK Quartet), and Mariel Roberts (of all-over-the-place)!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  When you're at 1 Rivington, you inevitably come to consider visiting Loreley Beer Garden, which is basically right next door.  The question is, why would you not go there?
