...Sanders Theatre, the Boston Symphony is giving the sixth concert in its Cambridge series. The program, composed of numbers previously played in Boston, consists of Haydn's Symphony in E flat no. 99, Faure's "Elegie" for Cello and Orchestra, Ravel's "Rapsodie Espagnole", and the preludes "Lohengrin," "Tristan und Isolde," and "Die Meistersinger".
