LEWISTON, Maine -- As the fall semester commences, Bates College will resume its Noonday Concert Series with weekly performances by Bates faculty and students.

The free concerts, open to the public, will be held on Tuesdays from 12:30 to l p.m. at the college's Olin Arts Center Concert Hall, located on Russell Street in Lewiston.

Pianist Frank Glazer will perform works by Haydn and Chopin on Sept. 10. Artist-in-residence and lecturer in music at Bates since 1980, Glazer previously served on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester for 15 years.

On Sept. 17, Lygonia Consort, a baroque ensemble of harpsichord, recorder and bassoon, will perform. The group, whose musicians play instruments that are careful replicas of the best period originals, is composed of members John Martin Byrne, Charles Kaufmann and John Corrie.
