FRIDAY 3/3

TRIO ROMANTIQUE-Guest violinist Stanley Ritchie joins cellist Meg Brennand and fortepianist Tamara Friedman for a concert of early romantic masterpieces-as early as Mozart, whose Piano Trio in E, K. 542 certainly did help point the way. Also, Beethoven's Trio in G, Op. 1 No. 2, and Schubert's Sonatina for Violin and Piano in A, Op. 137, No. 2. Queen Anne Baptist Church, 2011 First Ave N, Fri-Sat March 3-4, 8 pm, 726-6088, $9 students/$15 seniors/$18 general/children 7-14 free with adult.

SATURDAY 3/4

SAINT PAUL CHAMBER ORCHESTRA-The "Visiting Orchestras" series continues. A weird mix of early Beethoven (two Number Ones-the Symphony and the Piano Concerto, André Watts soloing) and the rather glib propulsiveness of the currently fashionable Michael Daugherty-Sunset Strip, which was commissioned by the orchestra. Benaroya Hall, Taper Auditorium, 8 pm, 215-4747 or www.seattlesymphony.org, $15-$67.

PAUL GALBRAITH-Galbraith's modified guitar is not held; rather, it rests on a metal bar, which in turn is supported by a resonating wooden box that sits between the musician's legs. Frankly, the photo looks comical-like some movie comedian who, feigning musical proficiency, doesn't even know how to hold the instrument-but the sound generated by the set-up is apparently quite lovely. Benaroya Hall, Nordstrom Recital Hall, 7:30 pm, 297-8788, $18 students & seniors/$23 general.

MONDAY 3/6

CASCADE SYMPHONY-American romantics come in two flavors, and this concert gives you them both: The foursquare, transparent simplicity of Hanson's Symphony No. 2, and the mystic, searching simplicity of Hovhanness' Prelude and Quadruple Fugue. Also, Adams' brief but fun Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Deak's Concerto for Bass, Jack and the Beanstalk. Moore Theatre, Second and Virginia, 8 pm, 425-778-4688, $10 students & seniors/$15 general.
