TICKETS + INFORMATION

Composer/pianist Myra Melford’s music kind of sounds like Cy Twombly’s paintings look, so it only makes sense that she would write a set of pieces inspired by his work. What you might not be expecting is the spectacular band she has assembled: Mary Halvorson on quitar, Ingrid Laubrock on sax, Tomeka Reid on cello, and Lesley Mok on drums.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, nice enough bistro at Bacchus. Streaming at home, toast my birthday with a French 75: pour 2 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a Champagne flute over ice. Top with Champagen. Garnish with a lemon twist.
