Anyway, here it is, chamber music for the artistically peripatetic and morally suspect. Out of the sweaty confines of Greenwich House, free from the unblinking eye of the maintenance guy at CAMI Hall, into comfortably louche quarters off the Square. As always, a mere $9.99. Now cheaper than the movies!

Sure, we don't have stadium seating, but can you get hard liquor and Ambience-with-a-capital "A" at the AMC 21? Can you get music that would normally accompany an autistic dwarf's nightmares at AMC 21? (Wow, can you get more tasteless?) Can you get a drunk and ranting Oklahoman at AMC 21? Actually, you know the answer is yes, which reminds me, don't miss the afterparty at a sleazy T.S. bar to be named later. Plus: Art by Miss Lasko-Gross, who's got a comic book called AIM, and has been featured in Screw magazine and the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

Featuring the world premieres of:
Peter Hess - Peccata Mundi, a Latin mass (almost) for trumpet, electric air organ, bass drum and soprano

Andrea La Rose - Seven Ways To Sunday for various instrumentation
