PROGRAM NOTE:

The
 Cocktail 
Party 
takes
 as 
its 
text
 snippets 
of 
the 
sort 
of 
somewhat
 inane
 conversation 
you
 might
 overhear
 (or
 engage 
in) 
at 
a 
cocktail 
party.
 This
 text
 is
 set 
in
 a

 saccharine-yet-slightly-creepy 
barbershop 
quartet style.
 The
 result
 is
 meant 
to 
occupy
 an
 uncomfortable 
space
 in
 between 
mock‐
 and
 genuine 
beauty.
