Thursday, September 10

Paul Galbraith plays his unusual vertical, eight-stringed guitar tonight in Columbus's RiverCenter, presented by Columbus State University's Legacy Live series. On GPB we hear him (and it) in lute music by Bach. The Ocmulgee Symphony opens its season Saturday in Hawkinsville with a concert of Mozart, Glazunov and Copland. We hear the familiar Mozart from the program. And the Georgia Philharmonic visits the Rabun Music Festival in Rabun Gap on Sunday, playing Dvorak, Mozart, Strauss and Rodgers and Hammerstein.
