TICKETS + INFORMATION

You get a chance to hear Jonathon Heyward, whose new appointment at the Baltimore Symphony makes him the first African-American music director of a major American orchestra (depending on how you define “major”: James DePreist was kind of a great conductor at the Oregon). Not only that, you get to hear him conducting a piece by the excellent Carlos Simon. The rest of the program is less worth going Uptown for — although far be it from me to deny the enormous appeal of Beethoven’s Second Symphony.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Cadillac Burger at P.J. Clarke’s, preceded by some clams on the half shell with a Martini.
