...Other concerts to look out for are: Bruce Springsteen at the Music Hall on May 29-31 (if it isn't already sold out); Bonnie Raitt at Bentley College on the 27 and Brown U. on the 29; Jefferson Starship at the Music Hall on May 19-20. I personally recommend all three of these great shows, although I've never seen any of them in concert except the Starship, and that was years ago in Central Park in the rain and mud with 100,000 other people.

...also been more imaginative and original in its choice of programs, performing both modern works and less famous pieces by famous composers. The Orchestra continues this practice this weekend in its final concert of the season, an unusual program of Haydn, Kirchner and Mahler. James Yannatos will conduct Haydn't Symphony No. 45 ("Farewell"), and Mahler's Symphony No. 1 ("Titan"); Kirchner will be the guest conductor for his own "Music for Orchestra."

...Boston University School of Music performance offers another season finale this week, in two concerts featuring winners of the annual Concerto/Aria Competition. On Thursday, Roger Voisin conducts the Boston Repertory Orchestra and School of Music vocal and instrumental soloists in Weber's Bassoon Concerto in F Major, Hindemith's Viola Concerto "Der Schwarendreher," and Berlioz's "Les Nuits d'Ete." The Friday program should be even more special, as Joseph Silverstein conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Brahms' Violin Concerto in D Major op. 77, Chausson's Poeme for Violin and Orchestra op. 25, and Liszt's Piano Concerto...
Also at Harvard this weekend, the Quad Arts Festival offers a diverse and interesting selection of concerts all week. The Cambridge Women's Slavic Chorus holds an outdoor concert at Radcliffe Quad on Saturday at 2 pm. Baritone Sanford Sylvan and pianist Peter Lurye perform Schumann, Wagner, Debussy, Wolf and Falla on Sunday at 8:30 pm in South House. The next day, Jim Ross and Jessica Krash play piano-and-horn works by Haydn, Chopin, Schumann and Ginastera--same place, same time. Finally, David Sogg and Peter Lurye give a bassoon and piano recital of Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven...
