TICKETS + INFORMATION

Alexandra Gardner is another of those composers whose non-specialist obscurity mystifies me: her electro-acoustic compositions are ear- and mind-tickling (without being the slightest bit treacly). I literally know nothing about Johannes Sidenius (except that the has the same name as a character in a very famous novel).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, neighborhood French at French Louie. Streaming at home, have an English Garden: put a bunch of mint leaves and 2 cucumber slices in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Muddle. Add ice. Pour in 1 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. each of lemon juice and apple juice, and 1/2 tbsp. honey. Shake very hard. Strain into a goblet. Top with sparkling wine. Garnish with a mint sprig.
