From NYTimes.com:

The program the enterprising ensemble Red Light New Music played on Monday evening at Symphony Space was devoted largely to mustache painting. The group — part new-music band, part composers’ collective — dedicated most of the first half to Salvatore Sciarrino’s deftly iconoclastic reworking of four pieces by the Italian Renaissance composer Gesualdo. After intermission the musicians offered a freewheeling version of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9 in which each movement was reconfigured by one of the composers who runs Red Light.
