The exciting wind/voice quartet loadbang presents an evening of premieres by such worthies as the excellent Chaya Czernowin.  Plus something by John Cage that presumably isn't a premiere.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I'm now going to give you one of my most cherished New York dining secrets:  B&D Halal Restaurant, which sells wonderful West African food from a steam table by the pound.  Honestly, their broiled goat chops are, to my palate, one of the best goat dishes available in New York -- and that's just the start of it.  An endless variety of delicious food for a pittance.  Although it wouldn't be strictly halal, you could walk across town after dinner to the Lost Hours cocktail bar, the new Murray Hill venture by the people behind Death & Co.
