Concert Notes ... continued Symphony Orchestra. There are many more very good and very interesting concerts at the Faculty of Music in October - too many to mention them all, but definitely worth finding in our concert listings section. GREAT ROMANTICS fESTIVAL Hamilton's Great R'illmantics Festival, October 7 to 10, an annual event organized by Professor Alan Walker of McMaster University, is a fascinating musical and intellectual feast of concerts, lectures and discussions, with well-placed moments of relaxation in the form of receptions and banquets. Performers from all over the .world consider it a privilege to play at this gathering, and the rest of us should consider ourselves privileged that it occurs in our own backyard so to speak. For further information, the festival can be contscted at 905-529-7070 ext.23674. If you are not fortunate enough to be able to spend four stimulating days in . Hamilton, a taste of the Festival will be available in Toronto on October 2 when English pianist, Melanie Spanswick, will give a recital in Toronto at Temple Baptist Church. fiRST CANADIAN CHOPIN CoMPETITION This year is the 150th anniversary of the death of one of those great romantics, Frederic Chopin, and so has been declared "Chopin Year" by UNESCO.
