    Classical Music Agenda

    Nicolas Dautricourt, photo by Guy VivienAfter a weekend full of concerts, there is not much to mention this week, for obvious, turkey-related reasons. Still, if you find yourself in town this week, there will be a few things to hear, although tickets may be hard to find.

    >> On Monday (November 19, 7:30 p.m.), French violinist Nicolas Dautricourt will be hosted by his country's embassy, La Maison Française. The attractive, all-modern program is bookended by the Poulenc and Debussy violin sonatas, with smaller pieces in the middle by Jolivet, Messiaen, Bacri, Karol Beffa, and others. Unfortunately but admirably, this event has already sold out.

    >> Also sold out but much less of a surprise, Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky will sing a recital of Russian song on Tuesday (November 20, 8 p.m.). This concert in the Music Center at Strathmore is sponsored by Washington Performing Arts Society.

    >> All week, except Thanksgiving day, the Suzanne Farrell Ballet will be performing two programs of George Balanchine choreographies (November 20-21, 23-25, various times), in the Kennedy Center Opera House.

    >> On Sunday (November 25, 1 and 5 p.m.), the Eclipse Chamber Orchestra and Cantate Chamber Singers will join forces for the Bach Brandenburg Festival at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church (4700 Whitehaven Pkwy. NW).

    >> Both free museum series will have concerts on Sunday. The Phillips Collection will host the winner of the Washington International Competition (November 25, 4 p.m.). The concert is free, but you still have to pay the price of admission to enter the museum.

    >> Later that evening (November 25, 6:30 p.m.) the National Gallery Chamber Players and Vocal Arts Ensemble will give a free concert at the National Gallery of Art.

    A correction: the Sunday concert at the National Gallery (November 25, 6:30 p.m.) just got a lot more interesting. It will now feature the ArcoVoce ensemble, with soprano Rosa Lamoreaux, tenor Wolodymyr Smishkewych, and harpsichordist Yonit Kosovske. The program will feature music by Leonarda, Pergolesi, A. Scarlatti, and D. Scarlatti.
