Wednesday, November 14
This morning we hear 
violinist Leila Josefowicz in rags. That's music, not old clothes. She plays raucous ragtime by John Novacek. (She'll solo in Beethoven's Violin Concerto this week with the Atlanta Symphony.)
Also on Midday Music: the Ma'alot Quintet, which comes to Auburn tonight; guitarist Christopher Parkening, who does Athens tomorrow; and Brahms' B-major piano trio, which the Paris Piano Trio performs in Augusta Friday. (Please see yesterday's post below for links to info for other events. Tomorrow we'll also preview rep from the Valdosta Symphony's Saturday concert.) In addition, we'll sample the latest multi-piano album from the 5 Browns and spotlight cello in Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations. Something for everyone, I hope.
