TICKETS + INFORMATION

What the rather anodyne title given this program doesn’t tell you is that Jordan Bartow will be playing solo cello music by the invigorating composer Dai Fujikura, who learned European High Modernism before becoming acquainted, as an adult, with the traditional music of his native Japan — giving his subsequent output both a tension and a freshness that make for that invigoration I mentioned a few lines ago.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, one of the most pleasurable places in New York, the Hungarian Pastry Shop. You WILL leave smiling. Streaming at home, have what I cannot resist Listing for live streams from places like here and St. Thomas, an Episcopal: pour 1-1/2 oz. green Chartreuse and 3/4 oz. yellow Chartreuse into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Stir. Strain into an Old Fashioned glass over ice.
