There's a song on AM radio just now that breathes ecstatically about "Southern Nights" just now when summer looks when it might be making a final long-awaited appearance but if you are a properly brought up culture-vulture you will probably go for Hector Berlioz's "Nuits d'Ete." Janet Bedell, mezzosoprano, and Robert Cohen, pianist, will present this recital in Holmes Hall Living Room at 8 pm.
Thomas Johnson, on piano, and Egbert Hoogenberk, on 'cello will present works by Bach, Beethoven and Schumann in the Winthrop House JCR at 5:00 pm. Admission is free.
MONDAY
So you've kept that promise you made to your tearful waving-goodbye mother during that light-years-ago Freshman Week and you still tender your devotions regularly at Memorial Church on Sundays. If so, you will be familiar with the melodious handiwork of Lenora McCroskey, Assistant Organist and Choir Master there. She (not the cat's mother but McCroskey) will give a harpsichord recital in that be-steepled Greek temple opposite Widener that you might be going to 8:45 morning prayers at. Admission is free and the show sould be well worth listening to.
TUESDAY

Peggy Pearson, oboist and a Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute, will present a Recital of Solo Works for Oboe as part of the Radcliffe Institute Colloquia Series in their Colloquium Room at 4 pm.

WEDNESDAY
The guitar is God's own instrument, John Major will be giving a recital of works for solo guitar, including premieres of "Improbable Rose" by Tison Street and "Iverson Songs" by Tim Mukherjee in Sanders Theatre. The surroundings will be grand but the Almighty might not be able to attend. However, the performance, starting at 8:30 should be worthwhile anyway.
