@SpiritManager , that’s exactly what I was thinking. The classical music that I’ve loved in my life has been the familiar stuff (heavy on Bach and Beethoven), and I really don’t have enough of a solid foundation of knowledge to leap straight from the traditional to the heavily avant-garde. This seemed a good way to take some exploratory baby steps and see what’s out there (especially as my son has decided he wants to major in Composition and Film-scoring). And I just kind of love going to Lincoln Center, now that I’m finally at a point in my life where I can afford it 
.
@compmom , I will start with The Rest is Noise then! The “intimate space” should be nice, but it is regrettable that these things aren’t drawing larger audiences. But I can find something to love in most (not all, as I said!) kinds of music. I’m sure that will be true with these concerts as well.
