Spring hailstorm

The next two weeks or so will present difficult choices for New York's new music fans, and the International Contemporary Ensemble isn't making things any easier by presenting (gulp) nine concerts here, starting tonight at Galapagos.  Claire Chase, the group's flutist and co-founder, will be featured in recent works for flute and electronics by young composers, along with Vermont Counterpoint (1982) by Steve Reich.
