If you don't mind the click of popping beer cans a chorus of crying babies and Ice cream vendors accompanying your favorite symphony, you might enjoy a trip this weekend to the outdoor Hatch Shell to hear "Papa "Arthur Fiedler and his Boston Pops serenade you under the stars.

Special featured soloist this Saturday night will be Harvard's whiz violinist Lynn Chang, performing Mendelssohn's well-known violin concerto.

The concert will be free, and is only three stops away on the MBTA Red Line (Charts). And the balloon men forecast pleasant weather for the weekend.

On Monday night, the Harvard Summer Chamber Players will feature works of Schumann, Mozart and Hindemith in the third of their weekly concert series. Tickets available at the door, Sanders Theater.
