Great artists give free concerts at New England Conservatory—simply because they teach here.
Saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky performs arrangements of Russian classics as well as a work by Edward Elgar that was originally written for bassoon. Radnofsky presents this program in memory of his colleague, former Boston Symphony Orchestra bassoonist Matthew Ruggiero (1932–2013).
