LECTURE / 'Film Music Into Concert Music'

6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 22, Music Millennium

When a piece of music written for a movie is scored for symphony orchestras, does that make it a masterpiece Ñ or a fraud on the classical music audience?

LECTURE / Crime scenes

7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 24, Northwest Neighborhood Cultural Center

This is better than reading Patricia Cornwell.
