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 Bartók (the fizzing Divertimento) — another composer who managed to sound unique while always sounding.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, some of the best Italian heroes in New York are at Pisillo. Streaming at home, have 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.
