There’s an overblown and over­hyped sport­ing event this week­end, but this time, it mat­ters a lot to me, because I saw this play as it hap­pened, and I’ve remained a Jints fan through thin and thick. And after some truly appalling losses this sea­son, it’s all pretty exciting.

Other notes for the week:

This is less and obit and more a remem­brance of Gus­tav Leon­hart, and a lovely one.

When there’s music writ­ing in the New York Review, that means Luc Sante on Patti Smith and Charles Rosen on Elliott Carter (sub­scrip­tion required for that link).

You can hear new music from the Dolce Suono ensem­ble at Sym­phony Space on Monday.

Tues­day is the first day of a new series of Pop-Up Con­certs at Miller The­ater; free late after­noon events … with beer! At 6pm, JACK Quar­tet and Laura Rad­nof­sky of Sig­nal will play Scelsi, Xenakis and Scia­rinno. I can’t make it, so let me know how it is.
