Ah Young Hong & Jacob Rodebeck: Music of Babbitt, Haas, and Hersch
Spectrum
70 Flushing Avenue, Garage A, Fort Greene, Brooklyn

$15; $10 students/seniors

Vocal pieces by Milton Babbitt, Georg Friedrich Haas, and Michael Hersch.  Serious stuff -- but seriously good.   Babbitt has the reputation of an avant-garde ogre, for example, but his Philomel for voice and electronics (performed here tonight) is extremely affecting -- and kind of a trip.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Obligatory Sunday night recommendation for Vinegar Hill House, maybe the coziest restaurant in Brooklyn.
