First performed by the New York Philharmonic in 1983, Kernis cemented his reputation in the 1990s with a series of appealing works that deftly blended minimalist and neo-Romantic influences. A tribute concert at (Le) Poisson Rouge--performed by musicians including violinists James Ehnes and Tim Fain, singers Sadie Rosales and Robert Osborne, the guitarist David Tanenbaum, and pianist Evelyne Luest--will take place on Monday evening, Jan. 18, at 7:30pm Ticket information here.
