...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...
...These are two remarkable plays," Havergal says of Beaumarchais' The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro, "and the playwright was a wild, extraordinary man, a pamphleteer and a music teacher.

Ponderously titled leven en werken van de Kabouter (The Life and Work of the Gnomes) in The Netherlands, the book is a spoof that solemnly reports that, among other things, Mozart's gnome pal is still alive, gnomes always have twins, they use opium for digestive upsets and would rather be without pants than their conical red caps...
