SPCO CHAMBER CONCERT
Thursday through Sunday: In the second of this year's Chamber Music Series concerts, members of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra focus on "Baroque and Classical Masterpieces." The program, featuring Ilya Poletaev on harpsichord, includes two pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach — the "Italian" Concerto and the Trio Sonata from "The Musical Offering" — and the Quartet in D for Flute, Viola, Cello and Harpsichord by his son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, an influential composer in his own right who transitioned from the Baroque style of his father to the Classical period. Poletaev will switch to piano for an additional piece that will conclude the Friday and Sunday performances, Mozart's Piano Quartet in G Minor. (7 p.m. Thu., Capri Theatre, 2027 W. Broadway, Mpls.; 8 p.m. Fri. & 2 p.m. Sun., SPCO Center, 408 St. Peter St., St. Paul; $5-$12, 651-291-1144, www.thespco.org) William Randall Beard
