Michael Alpert & Julian Kytasty: Night Songs From a Neighboring Village Michael Alpert and Julian Kytasty’s takes on traditional Ukrainian and Yiddish stories make the journey from Adam and Eve’s condemnation right up to a round of present-day moonshine. The many stringed bandura’s crisp clarity shimmers throughout, while the more sporadic wood flute is both a pair of lovebirds and a Chernobyl siren. “The Guests Arrive,” “The Rye Is Green,” “Many Years Waltz” and other everyday scenes carry messages of hope, humor and celebration from a turbulent country (www.oriente.de). —Seth Weinstein
