Beethoven's "Pastorale" Symphony, which we hear today, is on the Atlanta Symphony program at Atlanta's Symphony Hall this Thursday through Sunday. On GPB we hear another concert tie-in as well: Mikhail Glinka's trio for winds and piano, which principal players of Symphony Orchestra Augusta perform in Evans on Friday. Further January calendar listings to be posted later this week.
