Tonight at 8 o'clock in Sanders theatre the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will be led by M. Serge Koussevitzky in its sixth Cambridge concert of the season. The numbers on this program are more familiar than those of the fifth concert and show less of the new influence introduced by M. Koussevitzky...
