TICKETS + INFORMATION

Hard to know whether to call Evidence of Things Not Seen Ned Rorem’s magnum opus or his omnium gatherum. This long song cycle indeed contains almost everything good about Rorem’s elegant music. Hard to believe that decades ago he was shunned for being insufficiently unlistenable.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Things in Brooklyn Heights are depressingly closed on Mondays. Need to leave the neighborhood and stroll over to Gage & Tollner, which in its revivified form couldn’t be better.
