Gemma Peacocke is one terrific composer, combining acoustic and electronic elements to enthralling effect.  Celebrating the release of a recording, this concert reprises a song cycle setting Afghan women's folk poetry (as collected and translated by poet/journalist Eliza Griswold).  One presumes -- or at least hopes -- that vocals will be provided, as at last year's premiere and on the new recording, by the excellent Eliza Bagg -- hot off a great set by her band Pavo Pavo at Elsewhere last month.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  My personal interest in a restaurant showcasing local (or any) vegetables could hardly be lower.  But people seem to like Harvey.
