Getting a dinner reservation near the Met at this time of year is almost impossible. We settled on 5 p.m. so we could have plenty of time to get to The Met&#8217;s New York Baroque Incorporated. It was a mostly French evening. It began with the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully, an Italian born composer who worked at Louis XIV\u2019s court. It was followed by Jean-Philippe Rameau\u2019s Les Indes Galantes and George Frideric Handel\u2019s Suite from Terpsichore. The music was wonderful, the period dancing so-so and the incorrect Met directions frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>Judson Memorial Church is on a roll. It&#8217;s thrilling to be in a packed church. One of the main reason is the music. Judson has always had a strong musical tradition and the not so new music director, Henco Espag lives up to the tradition.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1858\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1858\" style=\"width: 192px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1858\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/IMG_5283.jpg?resize=192%2C256\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"256\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1858\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Judson Memorial Church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Recent thirty-four-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man in the school kitchen, deals with the only witness to the stabbing &#8211; a troubled nine-year-old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic Lessons<\/strong>: Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears a person fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker.
