TICKETS + INFORMATION

New and recent works by these two composers who don’t sound anything like each other. Dan Joseph came out of the D.C. Hardcore scene, where he drummed — and doesn’t sound like he didn’t. Michael Byron, also a virtuoso trumpet-player, writes in a scintillating Minimalist-Post-Minimalist (West Coast branch) mode. Good stuff here.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, a new bar around the corner from Roulette! The Little Pig. Streaming at home, have a Chapala (which sort of tastes the way Michael Byron’s music sounds): pour 1-1/2 oz. Tequila Blanco, 1/2 oz. each of orange juice and lemon juice, 1/4 oz. Grenadine, and 1/8 teaspoon orange blossom water into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with an orange wedge.
