Highlighting the noon hour of Midday Music are three sets of performers about to grace Georgia venues: the touring Imani Wind Quintet (right), German pianist Christian Zacharias (left) and 
Polish-born Georgia violinist Malgorzata Staszewska (below). For details on their exciting concerts and many others coming up this weekend, see Select Concerts below. We also hear the world premiere recording of a violin concerto by Portuguese composer Armando Jose Fernandes, and Grammy-nominated Beethoven from Garrick Ohlsson.
