...Bach Society Orchestra emerges publicly for its first concert of the season this Saturday evening in what looks like one of the most interesting programs offered around Harvard in a while. The program is a fine example of what instrumental groups around Harvard should strive for: concerts of some non-standard fare for a public overfed with Haydn, Mozart and the Brandenburg Concertos...

Both BU concerts are at 855 Commonwealth Ave. Stay in Cambridge this week for the Bach Soc and other programs which definitely look worthwhile...
