The smoldering Attacca Quartet could not have put together a more appealing program. The best work for string quartet written in the last few years — yeah, I said that — is Gabriella Smith's hopping Carrot Revolution — and we'll hear it tonight! Another top recent quartet piece — with the same energy as the Smith — is Paul Wiancko's LIFT; we won't be hearing that, but rather a newer Wiancko quartet, Benkei's Standing Death, which I for one can't wait to get to know. And the Quartet is
also playing excerpts from John Adams's (an Attacca specialty) enormously entertaining John's Book of Alleged Dances. You REALLY don't want to miss this.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Peacock: pour 2 oz. Cognac, 1/2 oz. Bigallet China-China, and 1/2 teaspoon of Absinthe, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a lemon peel.
