Concert “Giving Voice to the Feminine in ‘Carmina Burana.’” The concert will feature “Vox Feminae,” a song cycle by late composer Arlene Zallman that was inspired by the 12th/13th century German collection known as “Carmina Burana”—lyrics which clearly and surprisingly, for the period, express a woman’s perspective on love and sexuality. Zallman’s work will be paired with excerpted songs from Aaron Copland's “Twelve Poems of Emily Dickinson.” Sarah Pelletier, soprano, Lois Shapiro, piano. For more information, call (413) 585-ARTS. 4 p.m., Sweeney Concert Hall, Sage Hall

For more information, e-mail caroledelstein@crocker.com. 4-6 p.m., Neilson Library Browsing Room
