TICKETS + INFORMATION

Jessie Montgomery we all know and love around here: I’ll repeat my assertion that she’s the best writer of string music now working in New York. Frederick Tillis’s Spiritual Fantasy No. 12, which belatedly gives the mid-20th Century Neo-Romantic treatment to what used to be called Negro Spirituals, is one of those pieces where the first time you hear it you go, “why isn’t this appealing music played all the time?????” (Wait, I know!) Oh, and Mozart’s G-Minor String Quintet, rounding out the program, is one of the best pieces of music ever written by a European (even if his later ones are even better).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Snacky seafood on the Ferry Landing (with a spectacular view!) at High Tide.
