Jared Angle

Both the Philharmonic and the Ballet have opened their seasons, but now it’s time for a much smaller-scale New York artistic outlet to kick things off. The Salon/Sanctuary Concerts, a series of pre-Romantic music in tiny spaces, begins its season with a mixed bag of artists: countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, ballerino Jared Angle and harpsichordist Bradley Brookshire are to join together into some sort of Handel supergroup at the Gramercy Park Players Club ... Meanwhile, Mr. Angle’s company, the New York City Ballet, performs an evening of Balanchine and Stravinsky, including Firebird, for those who prefer a slightly grander venue.

Salon/Sanctuary Concert, Players Club, 16 Gramercy Park South, 7pm, tickets and information can be found at salonsanctuaryconcerts.org; Balanchine/Stravinsky Program, David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center, 8pm, tickets and information can be found at nycballet.com.
