TICKETS + INFORMATION

Pianist David Kaplan has long made it a practice to incorporate mainstream classical into contemporary classical recitals. Tonight there’s Beethoven (including the “Moonlight” sonata — although Kaplan has the taste not to call it that), L. Couperin, and Brahms and Schumann interspersed among the Cerrone, Cheung, Casarrubios, Saariaho, and Ligeti. Stimulating.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: As you may recall, the revivified Old John’s Luncheonette across the street.
