...Bach Society Orchestra appears in its final performance of the season this Saturday, offering a program which is pretty much in the same vein as its three previous concerts this year. Although Bach Soc tends toward Bach and Classical works, it also programs a modicum of nineteenth and twentieth-century pieces. Although Bach, Haydn and Mozart were featured, the pre-Romantic era was hardly the emphasis of the concert programs this year--which included Bruch, Vaughan Williams, Mahler, Wagner, Prokofiev and Kodaly...
...final Bach Soc concert does not really reflect this post-Classical emphasis as much as did the previous concerts, but it is interesting nonetheless. The orchestra plays Kodaly's Dances of Galenta, Vivaldi's "winter" and "Spring" from the "Four Seasons," and Mozart's Symphony No. 35 ("Haffner"). The last piece should be most noteworthy, but also watch for violinst Jennie Shames, who has shown real talent and sensitivity in the past, in the Vivaldi work. The Bach Soc performs at Sanders Theatre on Saturday, May 6, at 8:30 pm. Tickets are available at the door or at Holyoke...
...concerts this week at the New England Conservatory should not be missed.

...other NEC concert, pianist Gabriel Chodos plays Mozart's Rondo in D Major K. 485 and Sonata in D Major K. 576, Schubert's Sonata in A Major Op. 120, and Chopin's Preludes Op. 28. The Mozart Sonata and Chopin Preludes are especially worthwhile. Chodos plays on Sunday, May 7, at 8 pm in Jordan Hall. This concert is also free. Call 262-1120 for more details...
Currier House Fishbowl is the setting fog the Currier Concerto Concert on Sunday, May 7. Pianist Richard Kogan, soprano' Tamara Mitchel, and violinist Stephen Chan join in a recital of Grieg, Wagner and Bach, conducted by Louis Karchin, at 8:30 pm. These are all experienced and refined performers, so it's worth the $1 payable at the door. Rounding out the week in a big and noisy way, the traditional Open Reading of the 1812 Overture by Tchaikowsky takes place also on Sunday with rehearsal at 1:30 and a performance at 3 pm. All musicians--bring your...
