...plays "innovative and conceptual music" on "flute, guitar and many instruments from India, Africa, South America and Asia" next Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Old West Church in Boston, near Government Center. Admission to the concert, sponsored by the Jazz/Arts Ministry--whatever that is--is $3, but they'll give you a discount if you can correctly pronounce the name of the performing group...
...friend from home I hadn't seen for a couple years bumped into me the other day right outside Elsie's. "My big brother's taken up the piano," he told me. "He wants to be a concert pianist." In the past five years, big brother has taken up the sax, the cello, the flute and the clarinet.

Cipolla--who recently dropped her long-time nickname, Fishweasel--has been getting more singing offers in the past few months; she opened a concert for Livingston Taylor last Sunday, and is currently negotiating with Asylum Records.

The orchestra has also selected the Overture to "The Magic Flute," one of Mozart's finest and most popular short works. The concert is Saturday at 8:30 at Sanders Theatre. Tickets are available at Holyoke Center...
...Boston Symphony Chamber Players, the twelve main players of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, joined by pianist Gilbert Kalish, begin their three-concert series this Sunday with another romantic-contemporary program. Among the works performed will be Richard Strauss' "Till Eulenspiegel" Op. 28, arranged for chamber ensemble. The piece is a good introduction to the unusual musical world of Strauss, although I don't know how much of the real flavor actually comes through in a chamber transcription. Beethoven's "Kakadu" Variation for Piano Trio, Yehudi Wyner's Serenade (1958) for seven instruments and Brahms' Quintet for clarinet and strings...
