The exciting vocal/wind/brass ensemble loadbang is commissioning a bunch of concrti grossi for it to play along with a string ensemble.  Here are five.  One is (an uncharacteristic serial piece) by List idol Eve Beglarian:  enough said.  The others are a "quotation" piece (Mahler, Ives, etc.) by rising Euro-Modernist Reiko Füting, a "field recordings" piece by sonic explorer Paula Mathhusen, an electoacoustic piece by Heather Stebbins, and a pop culture exploration by Scott Wollschleger.  You know what?  This looks GOOD.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  First, be sure to cross the street to Bennett Park to visit the highest natural point in Manhattan.  Beyond that, before the show try the basic French at The Pandering Pig.  After the show, you may be kind of stuck up there.
