The a la carte option at H&H is not an afterthought. Those indulgent options include Japanese A5 Wagyu steaks, 100ounce Brazilian short ribs, truffle-showered filets and lamb T-bones—as well as seabass.

Consider a classic Old Fashioned cocktail before your meal, a Brazilian cabernet during.

She has had shorterterm residencies throughout the U.S., received commissions from orchestras and chamber and choral ensembles, and earned awards and fellowships from entities such as ASCAP and the Kennedy Center.

Her compositional knack for making connections isn’t limited to cultures. “I also have pieces for people who are students and teachers, parents and children, and people who are in very different kinds of socioeconomic groups in the same city,” she says.

The latter includes works written for Street Symphony, the nonprofit ensemble founded by her husband, violinist Vijay Gupta, which brings music to homeless and incarcerated communities.

“All these different ways of interacting ... can sometimes help bring those people together,” Esmail says. She cites a mother and son who reunited after 20 years by singing a Street Symphony piece together over the phone.

“When we sing together, when we make music together, it can be the catalyst for the more difficult conversations, or for developing the kind of trust where you can start to have those difficult conversations,” she says. “I really think that is what can help us heal some of these divides that can feel very big otherwise.

“I certainly don’t take credit for [reunions]. But it is so amazing to know that something I’ve crafted with the idea that it can connect people really does.”

Performances Magazine unveils a digital program platform for shows and concerts

NO RUSTLING PAGES, no killing trees . . . Of all the innovations to have come out of the pandemic, the new Performances program platform, accessed on any digital device, may be least likely to disappear in the foreseeable future. Not only had its time come—it had been long overdue.

Performances provides the programs for 20 SoCal performingarts organizations, from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Ahmanson to San Diego Opera, where the app made its debut.

The touchless platform provides cast and player bios, donor and season updates and arts-centric features. Audiences receive a link and code word that instantly activate the app; QR codes are posted, too.

Screens go dark when curtains rise and return with the house lights. Updates—repertory changes, understudy substitutions, significant donations—can be made right up to showtime, no inserts necessary.

Other features include video and audio streams, translations and expanded biographies.

For those who consider printed programs keepsakes, a limited number, as well as commemorative issues for special events, continue to be produced. Collectibles!

Meanwhile, there is less deforestation, consumption of petroleum inks and programs headed for landfills. For the ecologically minded, the platform gets a standing ovation.

Theaters and concert halls reopened after a long intermission. Stages are live, the excitement is back. Activate your link and enjoy the shows. —CALEB WACHS
