The first, an afternoon recital at the Metropolitan Opera House, was in 1978.

Tickets: $40 for all events, or $30 for the evening concert and $20 for the afternoon recital; the symposium is free to ticket holders (Griffiths).

The giant pipe organ was welling forth with a late afternoon recital.

Lunchtime concerts and afternoon recitals are regular features of the schedule, although Sunday is music-free.

Then the season consisted of 5 afternoon recitals; now there will be 16 chamber concerts, 2 baroque evenings and 8 jazz events.

Next Sunday, there are four afternoon recitals and an evening of dance.

Another feature of the institute are afternoon recitals scattered throughout the museum's campus on weekdays.

These afternoon recitals are short, inviting and affordable.

Tickets: $10 for each afternoon recital, $20 for the evening concert, $40 for the whole day (Oestreich).

Whatever the case, there are four more free Sunday afternoon recitals through June 26.
