Lise de la Salle
Cherbourg-born, 21-year-old Lise de la Salle is a former child prodigy turned piano sensation playing solo and with orchestras around the world.

Music ad Rhenum
The Early Music Guild presents acclaimed American baroque flutist Jed Wentz and his Netherlands-based quintet performing works by Francois Couperin and Georg Philipp Telemann. Formed in 1992, the group's intensely personal and highly emotional style has earned it a special place in the early-music scene. Director Wentz has performed and recorded with such groups as Musica Antiqua Koln, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Capriccio Stravagante Paris and the Gabriele Consort. 8 p.m. Saturday (a preconcert lecture begins at 7 p.m.), Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave., Seattle; $20-$38 (206-325-7066 or www.earlymusicguild.org).
