TICKETS + INFORMATION

C4 returns with another wide-ranging recital of precisely rendered new and recent works of a type that require precise rendition. I have to give a shout-out to the new piece by Brian Mountford, a pal. You might be especially excited to hear a new piece by the engaging Trevor Weston.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person Thursday, I personally think the West Village branch of St. Tropez Wine Bar is one of the most appealing places around — even if the food and wine are no more than fine. In person Friday, the Piemontese food at Osteria Carlina is so good — the best Vitello Tonatto I’ve ever had in the U.S., for one thing — that you wish their wine program matched it. Streaming at home on Thursday, have a Precision Timepiece (you won’t be surprised to find that it emenated from Amor y Amargo): pour 1-1/2 oz. Jägermeister and 3/4 oz. each of Aperol and Amaro Montenegro, with 2 dashes of pimento bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with an orange twist.
