Music composed in the past century, or even music outside the canon of established masterpieces, often deters people from attending concerts, when they should really appreciate an opportunity to hear some new and fascinating music. Despite this hurdle, Ignat Solzhenitsyn continues the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia's off-the-beaten-track season with an adventurous, but well-crafted program of all-wind music from the past century: John Harbison's "Music for 18 Winds," Igor Stravinsky's Octet, Vincent Persechetti's Serenade Op. 1, No. 1, and Alban Berg's Chamber Concerto, Op. 8.

Still looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift? Nothing says I love you like an evening of classical music. Best bets include the timeless tale of love, Porgy and Bess, which continues at the Philly Opera, as well as some great chamber concerts around the city.

The early winter lull is almost over. There are certainly some interesting concerts this week, but the real winter season is on hold for another week.
