Classical music spotlight: Janina Fialkowska at Chopin Society

Sunday: When, in 2002, doctors at New York's Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center removed an aggressive tumor from Janina Fialkowska's left arm, they thought the superb Canadian-American pianist would never play professionally again. But they didn't divulge this dark prognosis to their patient, who, in one of the great stories of musical rebirth, fought her way back. Her season-ending all-Chopin program at the Frederic Chopin Society, billed as a tribute to her mentor Arthur Rubinstein (and closely tracking her recent CD on the Atma label), should be one of the summits of this Chopin bicentennial year. (3 p.m. Sun. Janet Wallace Fine Arts Center, Macalester College, 130 Macalester St., St. Paul. $12-$20. 612-822-0123, or www.chopinsocietymn.org.) LARRY FUCHSBERG
