Heppner will perform a varied selection of art songs and opera arias and will be accompanied by Rena Sharon, who is on faculty at UBC. Sharon has emerged in the past year as one of the more gifted pianists in town, both as accompanist and soloist.
Any performance by Sharon is musically gratifying, as her appearance in last summer's
Seattle Chamber Music Festival proved.
A prelude lecture begins at 7:15 p.m. while the recital is at 8 p.m. For reservations and information call 228-3113.

The oldest chamber music organization in town is no doubt Friends of Chamber Music, which recently began its 42nd season;
Throughout the years this volunteer oriented society has had its ups and downs, but the current season may well prove one of the definite ups.
The coming concerts are Oct. 24 (Auryn Quartet) and Nov. 21 (Debussy Trio).
Long time favorites like the Beaux Arts Trio (April 17) and Richard Stoizman (May 1) appear towards the end of the season, but even before that there are some promising ensembles from all oyer the world, offering chamber music at its best.
Two Russian groups will
represent Glasnost in this series — the Borodin Quartet (Feb. 27) and the Shostako-vitch Quartet (Feb. 13). The latter ensemble will be joined by local cellist Eugene Osad-achy for Glazunov's cello quintet.
Programs usually centre around the tried and true repertoire with the occasional glance at the more obscure or contemporary. Concerts take place Tuesday nights at the Vancouver Playhouse.
1 ndividual tickets and subscriptions are available through Ticketmaster outlets and before each concert.
50 percent reduction for students. For information call 872-8247 or 437-5716. '

And from Oct. 18 to 22 the Moscow Circus will perform atthe Pacific Coliseum. Tightrope artists, jugglers, clowns, bears and horses are only part of What is bound to be yet another celebration of traditions that will al\yays beguile us, of merriment that always speaks to our hearts.
