Orchestra of the Swan/Curtis Town Hall, Birmingham

Nothing defines the Orchestra of the Swan better than its commitment to new repertoire. While it is the policy of its artistic director, David Curtis, to commission works that complement or parallel specific classical pieces, it is not so much the safety cushion factor that sustains the exercise, as his own irrepressible enthusiasm in presenting it. His often imaginative programmes have a knack of making connections that are genuinely stimulating. In this concert, Bach's music was paired with pieces from the past 70 years. Hearing the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, in Steve Martland's arrangement, against the elaborate green-and-gold decoration of the Town Hall organ pipes was a faintly surreal experience. Aaron Copland's rarely performed but strangely beautiful Nonet for Strings was followed by the new commission from Alexander Goehr.

Orchestra takes on 'Boheme' at Mann

Opera, staged or in concert, has been an intermittent and not especially well-adjusted visitor to the Mann Center for the Performing Arts. No mystery why: Operatic needs are numerous and specific in ways that don't sit well in an all-purpose venue. And opera in any setting has so many components that budgets go up and prospects of total success down. So respect and gratitude are in order for the Philadelphia Orchestra's coming so far out of its comfort zone to present a concert performance of La Boheme on Tuesday under Rossen Milanov, even if amid so many compromises you wondered if the effort was worth it.
