The two principal female vocalists of the Ekmeles vocal ensemble, Charlotte Mundy and Elisa Sutherland, are roommates Quarantining together.  Which means they can perform together non-remotely!  Tonight they'll do a live performance — with visual effects! — of Stockhausen's phantasmagorical In the Sky I Am Walking, setting Native American poetry.  (I always wonder why Stockhausen's music is supposed by some to be so hard to listen to — if you like the trancier electronic dance music or psychedelic rock, it's like mother's milk.)  Also on the program is a performance of the Native American composer Raven Chacon's operetta Asdzaa Nádleehé & Yoolgai Asdzaa taped last November.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Golden Derby:  pour 1-1/2 oz. each of Mellow Corn Whiskey (you will thank me for inducing you to get some of this!) and ginger liqueur and 2 oz. of grapefruit juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Stir.  Pour into a rocks glass over ice.  Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
