TICKETS + INFORMATION

[Switch~ Ensemble] doesn’t shy from electronics. This concert features work by composers who make electroacoustic music or music that sounds electroacoustic even when it’s fully acoustic. While it’s always good to experience Heather Stebbins’s enthralling glacial electroacoustic objects (her pieces seem like they’re just there), what’s really exciting on this program is a piece by Fausto Rometelli, an absolutely unique composer who created his own antic, propulsive soundworld, with music that zoomed so fast and so crazily it almost had to stop coming prematurely.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  In person, who’d have thought one of the better and more distinctive Thai restaurants in New York City would be in Park Slope? Bangkok Degree. Streaming at home, have the drink of the Old Italian Men whose ranks Fausto Romitelli never got a chance to join, the Bicicleta: pour 2 oz. each of Campari and Italian white wine into a wine glass. Add ice. Top with soda water. Garnish with an orange wheel.
