Ives's great, multivalent Concord piano sonata, now 100 years old, was so far ahead of its time that it sounds, at most, 50. It presents quite a challenge to the player, so thanks to the estimable Jason Hardink just for sitting down and playing it (he will undoubtedly be splendid). Also on the program is a new piece by metal-to-Webern composer Jason Eckardt taking off from the Concord. The presense of Claire Chase indicates that the Concord's flute obligatto will be played. With or without the flute part, you almost never get a chance to hear this magnificent piece played live. You know what to do.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Mekelburg's Domino.
