You like to think your tastes are rigorous, but your responses to pop music can be pretty random. Why do I find Emily King's white soul-pop perky and emotionally convincing when I find most such music trivial and derivative? I really can't figure it out. Here King's a guest artist with yMusic, the redoubtable indie-classical ensemble that features in its awesome line-up the violist Nadia Sirota, one of the signal musicians of her generation.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: If you want something before the show, Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue has what may be the best Nouvelle 'Cue in Brooklyn. After the show, Brooklyn Heights pizza star Table 87 has opened a branch in Gowanus.
