This concert, by the Little Neighborhood Orchestra That Could, is named for a piece by Brooklyn's own (well, she'd say she's Puerto Rico's own) Angélica Negrón, whose music is never less than interesting and enjoyable. Villa-Lobos's Guitar Concerto has an entertainment value that goes through the roof — and it's almost never performed around here. As for Brahms's Fourth Symphony, certainly one of the great statements in the symphonic literature (and a piece that could itself be called "What Keeps Me Awake"): well, is it too big for a chamber orchestra? Maybe. But this is The Little Orchestra That Could!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Friday, La Cabaña Salvadoreña: you will NOT leave hungry. Saturday, neighborhood fave Tampopo Ramen.
