You know you're really up to something when the most approachable piece on your program is by Bartók. OK, it's the closest Bartók ever came to easy listening, the incandescent Divertimento — but still. Leading off the rough stuff is a piece by Georg Friedrich Haas. Following behind are Ruth Crawford Seeger (God I love her music) and Ann Cleare.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: I'm not 100% certain that the wonderful West African buffet B&B Restaurant is still serving in-house. But if it isn't, New York is even more bereft than we thought.
