TICKETS + INFORMATION

Don’t know about this one, actually. In theory, put a bandoneon playing with a string quartet onstage and this Tango fanatic will be there — especially when the string quartet is of the stupendous quality of the Takács. But I don’t find Bryce Dessner to be much of a composer, and Clarice Assad seems to alternate between writing music of charm, appeal, and some astringency and writing mush. At least they’ll be doing the Ravel quartet (without the bandoneon).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Italian fave Sfoglia, somehow still good.
