TIME:SPANS is an annual summertime New Music festival put on by the Earle Brown Music Foundation -- a worthy institution perpetuating the mission and memory of a great composer. The festival focuses on the gnarlier kind of New Music -- and is none the worse for it. This year's festival kicks off with a free performance by Tel Aviv's questing Ensemble Nikel -- a longtime festival favorite -- playing a piece by pure sound–explorer Klaus Lang (which should work just great outdoors).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: You would never expect an Italian restaurant in Wagner Park to be any good. But somehow, Gigino is.
