I love Randall Woolf's music.  But then I would.  Woolf is approximately of my cohort, and he's one of the best of the composers bringing rock/jazz/blues inflections to Contemporary Classical.  Now, however, those forms must seem kind of archaic to the current generation of Contemporary Classical composers, who bring EDM/hip-hop/post-jazz inflections.  But you can't quibble with Woolf's cagey directness, nor his uniquely personal yet immediately appealing way with sound.  So the highlight of this highly attractive program of solo flute music will be not just the first but also the second performance of Woolf's brand-new Quarantine piece, written for flautist Susanna Loewy.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Bow and Arrow:  pour 1 oz. each of Bourbon and Mezcal, 3/4 oz. each of pineapple juice and lime juice, and 1/2 oz. of Cane Syrup (go ahead and use Simple Syrup if you don't have any Cane Syrup around — but in that case make it a full 1/2 oz.) into an ice-filled cocktail shaker.  Shake.   Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish with cinnamon.
