TICKETS + INFORMATION

The Chamber Music Society has put together a really great program here — and given it the least cool packaging you could imagine. It’s almost as if legacy mainstream classical music institutions want to deflect any kind of vital audience. But let’s focus on the positive: great vocal pieces by Debussy, Ives, and Crumb (his hit Ancient Voices of Children), and Stravinsky’s four-hand piano reduction of Rite of Spring (a very interesting way to listen to that piece) (Stravinsky played it with Debussy!) to boot. Hold your nose and go.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Nice pan-Mediterranean at Boulud Sud.
