Electronic musician Peter Ablinger (in town for his new New York City Ballet piece later this week) has, over the last 20-something years, developed a corpus of pieces he calls Voices and Piano, in which famous recorded voices are accompanied by live piano.  Tonight he premieres a new one, featuring the indelible voice of Diamanda Galás.  If that isn't enough for you, he'll also present prior pieces in the series featuring the respective voices of, among others, Agnes Martin, Ezra Pound, Nina Simone, Hannah Schygulla, and Cecil Taylor.  And if that isn't enough for you, the live piano is played by Eric Wubbels.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  I personally am very excited about the homey new bar menu at Aquavit.  Of course, if you want something fancier, you can eat from the lovely dinner menu in the dining room.
