Regardless of this minor logistical challenge, the two creative entities will share the Paine Hall stage this Saturday as BachSoc commemorates the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. The performance will be one of only two concerts put on by Harvard’s celebrated chamber orchestra this semester. It will also be one of the last shows conducted by outgoing musical director Daniel W.
