I love chichi contemporary classical paired with find suds courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery. That's just a good thing. If you're in NYC on June 8th you may want to check this out. (Kiddies welcome!)

New York Philharmonic CONTACT!
David Robertson Leads Elliott Carter World Premiere
The New York Philharmonic’s acclaimed new music series, CONTACT!—called “…must-hear adventures with provocative, enticing contemporary music” by The New York Times—returns for a third season. In this season’s second program hosted by WNYC’s John Schaefer, David Robertson conducts the world premiere performance of Elliott Carter’sTwo Controversies and a Conversation, a double concerto with piano and percussion, with featured players Colin Currie, percussion, and Eric Huebner, piano; as well as the U.S. premiere of NACHLESE Vb: Liederzyklus, a musical meditation on the nature of linguistic translation, by Michael Jarrell, featuring soprano Charlotte Dobbs. Also on the program is the contemporary classic...explosante/fixe... by Pierre Boulez, with Principal Flute soloist Robert Langevin on MIDI flute, Philharmonic flutist Mindy Kaufman, and flutist Alexandra Sopp.
A reception with free beer provided by Brooklyn Brewery will follow the concert.
This series is made possible by the Xerox Foundation.
