TICKETS + INFORMATION

As a run-up to the Philharmonic’s premiere of her new piece on Friday, a group of Alt Classical regulars plays a set of music curated by Sarah Kirkland Snyder featuring her own music and that of her Alt Classical colleagues. A good chance to hear that, for all their denials of stylistic similarities, this group of composers do have a lot in common: a certain mellifluousness, a grasp of popular rhythms and forms, and a schooled commitment to classical.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Forget having anything in the area after the show (I will note, however, that while you’re there, the concession bartender at the Kaplan Penthouse makes some of the strongest Gin & Tonics I have ever drunk). So go easy on the Martinis with your pre-show clams on the half shell (there is no “r” in June), followed of course by a Cadillac Burger, at P.J. Clarke’s.
