Baritone Nicholas Meyer performs Schumann's 'Dichterliebe' with ...

October typically explodes with the number of concerts and this month is no exception. This weekend, Oct. 12-14, is particularly packed with performances, from Al-Andalus playing new and old world music, to the season's first conductor/candidate of the Columbia Symphony to the complete Beethoven cello sonatas at Chamber Music Northwest.

And this one: baritone Nicholas Meyer sings Robert Schumann's wonderful "Dichterliebe" song cycle, accompanied by pianist Robert Ainsley, late of Portland Opera. Meyer will provide supertitles to the songs, which he performs in the Old Church.

7:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, 1422 S.W. 11th Ave. Admission is free.
