“A couple of weeks ago, the Metropolis Ensemble gave a single performance of Jakub Ciupinski’s Brownstone. Listeners, fortified with noshes and wine, trooped through three floors of a house in Brooklyn, while ten musicians and a soundtrack of nature sounds enveloped them in an acoustic landscape. At moments like this, new music sheds its academic strictures and finds its way back to the era of dinnertime entertainments.”
