TICKETS + INFORMATION

As part of Carnegie Hall’s Afrofuturism Festival, Juilliard’s house student contemporary music ensemble does an all-star line-up of George Lewis, Anthony Braxton, Marcos Balter, and Tania León.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, longstanding bistro Café Luxembourg is either boring or comfortingly dependable: you decide. Streaming at home, have an Old Cuban (NOT a reflection on Ms. León, now at the height of her powers): very gently bruise 6 mint leaves with 3/4 oz. lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Pour in 1-1/2 oz amber Rum and 1 oz. Simple Syrup, with 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Fill with ice. Shake. Strain into a Martini glass or coupe. Top with Champagne. Slit a lime slice halfway through so it can perch on the glass rim, pierce it with a mint sprig, and set it on the rim.
