Pianist Boris Berezovsky, the Tschaikovsky
gold medalist who last season thrilled concertgoers in the Schenectady Museum-Union
College chamber series, is back to launch the 98-99 season with a program to include works
by Ravel and Mussorgsky on Friday, Oct. 9, at 8 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
The 27th season also
includes two all-Beethoven performances by the Borromeo String Quartet, the return of the
ever-popular Emerson String Quartet, and the Wu Han, Pamela Frank and Yeesun Kim Trio.
Members of the College community are invited to attend any
of the 14 concerts free of charge. Those who make a contribution to the series will
receive two season tickets. Those who choose not to support the series financially may
pick up two tickets at Central Scheduling, Reamer Campus Center 404C.
