Is it too early for 2020 nostalgia? What is probably the in-person premiere of a piece for strings developed during Quarantine by violist/composer Jessica Pavone. And Pavone is a perfect stylist for that time: her work has the time-suspending quality that characterized the best Quarantine music for many of us (I've never listened to such concentrated doses [that's a joke: these must be the least concentrated composers in all of Western music] of Feldman and Bruckner in my life). Pavone slides between consonance and dissonance, tone and microtone. This promises to be special.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: And then you can go drink (and eat surprisingly well) at Grand Army Bar.
