yMusic was the "indie classical" supergroup, the ensemble that so perfectly encapsulated the "indie classical" ethos that the style almost had to start to fade thereafter.  Which is not to say it doesn't/didn't have considerable appeal, as this show will demonstrate.  You get a couple of pieces by emerging star composer Gabriella Smith, who generates interesting textures as easily as breathing (and whose Carrot Revolution -- NOT on this program -- was theNew Music hit of the past year).  You get some pieces by the band.  You get pieces by favorites Caroline Shaw (whose music never ever fails to enchant) and Nico Muhly.  You get folk pop arrangements.  And more!  What's not to like?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Souvlaki GR for high-quality Greek that in this neighborhood counts as a real bargain.
