Last night indeed: The Strokes play the Apollo with Guided by Voices
|
The Strokes With Guided By Voices
Model agency scion Julian Casablancas's longhaired good looks and the single "Last Nite" have helped this NYC-based band become a rock-pop favorite, but GbV's hardcore following may make it even tougher to get tickets.
Tickets $50 online at Ticketmaster or call 307-7171.

New
York Philharmonic
Break out the satin gloves, the sequins, the wing
tips: It's New Year's Eve at the Philharmonic. Kurt Masur's medical
absence has turned the past month into a kind of best-guest-conductors'
revue, and Sir John Eliot Gardiner, making his New York Philharmonic
debut, will help the city usher in 2002. He'll lead the chorale
from Bach's Cantata BWV 27, "Wer weiss, wie nahe mir mein Ende"
("Who knoweth how near my end") — the characters
are a Gardiner specialty — and Beethoven's goosebump-inducing
Ninth Symphony with the New York Choral Artists and the American
Boychoir. Don't forget the tissues: The "Ode to Joy" will
likely feel especially poignant this year. — ALICIA ZUCKERMAN
