TICKETS + INFORMATION
In conjunction with its indispensable New York 1962-64 exhibition (Ground Zero for post-modern art as we know it, the place where we still live), the Jewish Museum presents a better-late-than-never tribute to the immediately preceding period. The transfixing Morton Feldman might have written his violin and piano piece For John Cage in 1982, but it commemorates a great friendship that harkens back to 1950, when the two met for the first time in the lobby of Carnegie Hall when they were both walking out on a Rachmaninoff performance by the New York Philharmonic.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Neighborhood bistro at Pascalou. (Table d’Hôte is better, but it closes too early.)
