With Paganini Competition winner Lynn Chang graduating in June, the Kogan/Chang/Ma trio will give its final Harvard performance this Saturday with the Bach Society. They will pit their formidable technical and musical skills against the Beethoven Triple Concerto, known affectionately as the Cripple Concerto because of the tremendous demands it makes upon the soloists. Stravinsky's marvelous Pulcinella Suite will also be on the program.
