...Bach Society Orchestra's concert last Saturday night. Apparently set on shedding its all-Baroque image, the BSO performed a quarter of works representing every major stylistic period from the Baroque to the twentieth century. The program consisted of the instrumental sinfoniae from three J.S. Bach contatas, Wagner's Sieg-fried Idyll in its original instrumentation, Quiet City by Aaron Copland, and Beethoven's Eighth Symphony.

After the play, Queen Elizabeth left the theater alone, and was greeted by another chorus of boos. She looked startled and dismayed. It was probably the first time that British royalty had been so publicly humiliated at home since Edward VII was hissed at Epsom in the last century after rumor involved him as a corespondent in a divorce case...
