Tentative Spring-Summer Henning Ensemble Program

 “Zero Garden Street” is such a Harvard Square address.

Porridger’s Almanack (Breakfast of Ganglions)

The smoke alarm went off in the hallway upstairs, either to let us know the battery had just died or because the house was on fire. We finished our lunch in silence.
—Don Delillo, White Noise

Now that we appear to be closing in on actual dates for two concerts with the full quartet (plus, but I shall address that fascinating and delightful development hereafter) the band required guidance as to what music should be on the stands. The standing wish has always been, upon logging another concert at the blessedly welcoming venue of King’s Chapel, now that we’ve laid in the work of preparing the music, to bring it out in more performances. Thus, the program is a balance of music recently performed and stuff which is hot off the press.
