TICKETS + INFORMATION

At first glance you might think the Iranian Female Composers Association has a limited focus. But then you gain entry into what seems to be an amazingly fertile New Music scene; their members come up with music that is always at least interesting but is usually a good deal more than that: compelling, good listening. The voice/brass-wind ensemble loadbang of course generate their own excitement.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: I myself am unable to go anywhere but the B&B Restaurant, with its delicious West African steam table buffet, before or after a show at OPERA America. One of the great food values in New York City.
