TICKETS + INFORMATION

Giusto Pio was best known in Italy for doing arrangements for a (Prog) pop singer; they even made it to Eurovision. But meanwhile he was a Minimalist composer, managing to skirt the banalities of misnamed “Neo-Classicism” while retaining some of its woozy dreaminess. Gryphon Rue could have been born to interpret this stuff.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, excellent cocktails, better food than you’d think, at Grand Army Bar. Streaming at home, have a White Negroni: pour 1 oz. each of Gin, Suze, and Lillet Blanc (I tend to prefer Cocchi Americano myself) into a rocks glass over ice. Stir. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
