Early in Quarantine, composer/electric guitarist/Composers Concordance honcho Gene Pritsker composed a series of duets for himself and various composer/musician friends, who then reciprocally composed duets for themselves and Pritsker. A good album in the pop/jazz-inflected classical style (unless it's the pop/classical-inflected jazz style) ensued — and now they're playing some of it live.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: The 15 live tickets being made available include unlimited free drinks (although you can imagine how dire they're going to be). Before the show (you can't eat out afterward these days), excellent paella at Socarrat. Those watching at home can drink Vieux Carrés: pour 3/4 oz. each of Rye, Cognac, and sweet Vermouth, and 1/4 oz. of Bénédictine, with 1 dash each of Angostura and Peychaud's bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into and Old Fashioned glass over ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.
