Sphinx Virtuosi

In partnership with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and Jasper Chamber Concerts, WRTI brought performances to two local Philadelphia schools in October.

In this week's Fanfare, The Crossing kicks off its new season, PCMS presents Sphinx Virtuosi at Perelman Theater, Opera Baltimore performs La Bohème, and more.

During a late-summer lull, John T.K. Scherch has one free concert to recommend, along with a couple of vital new albums.
