This series by mezzo Lucy Dhegrae, a key person on the New York music scene if there is one, deals with processing trauma. Which is all very well, but the big news tonight is a brand new piece by Eve Beglarian, a pop-savvy alt-classical composer who could be a poster girl for the kind of music this List champions. Additional pieces by such personal faves of Your Compiler as Poulenc, Machaut, and Aperghis don't hurt.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In keeping with its location in a (nice modern spa-like) bathhouse, Bathhouse restaurant purports to serve Northern and Eastern European cuisine — but healthy versions. Good luck with that, guys!
