...highlight is a performance of Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor by expert pianist Roy Kogan. Finished in 1845 and premiered by the composer's wife (one of the best pianists of her day), this concerto is at once exciting and poignant.

The concert is in Sanders Theatre at 8:30 p.m. and tickets are available at Holyoke Center Ticket Office...

...Bach Society Orchestra is, in my view, about the most reliably good music group on campus. Its programming is excellent and its performing solid. Bach Soc does not disappoint this year, either. Roy Kogan, a fine soloist who excelled last season, plays Schumann's Piano Concerto in October, Jennie Shames appears in the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto, and the rest of the year includes Britten, Mahler, Chausson and some workhorse Beethoven. Bach doesn't figure in much, but that's the paradox of this orchestra -- it's supposed to play the Brandenburgs, but instead bombards you with great nineteenth and twentieth...
