TICKETS + INFORMATION

The expert NOVUS NY new music ensemble explores the wonderful ouvre of George Crumb, an unclassifiable composer who was always concerned with his music’s sounding — although usually not like anything you’d heard before. Not many composers can pull of the feat of being completely cutting-edge while being just good to listen to. In this show, Crumb’s music is paired with a peice by his student Jennifer Higdon.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, try not to get too upset at the relative absense of Lyonnaise dishes at Daniel Boulud’s supposed Bouchon Le Gratin, and just enjoy how good the few there are, are. Streaming at home, welcome Fall with a Jack Rose: pour 2-1/2 oz. Laird’s Bonded apple brandy, 3/4 oz. lemon juice, and 1/2 oz. Grenadine into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
