ARMENIAN RHAPSODY

Sunday: Tiny Armenia has contributed disproportionately to the world of classical music, and pianist Nareh Arghamanyan, the Vienna-trained winner of last year's Montreal International Competition, is the latest in a distinguished line. Opening the Frederic Chopin Society's new season, her program salutes the current spate of composer bicentennials (Mendelssohn, Chopin, Schumann) and adds Beethoven's glowing, songful A-flat Sonata, Op. 110. (3 p.m. today. $12-$20. Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center, Macalester College, 130 Macalester St., St. Paul. 612-822-0123 or www.chopinsocietymn.org.)
