SCHUMANN AT EMMANUEL The late Craig Smith liked to paint on a large canvas with his programming at Emmanuel Music, and his multiyear Schumann chamber music series is still marching on. Its fifth and final season includes pianist Randall Hodgkinson performing "Davidsbündlertänze." Nov. 2, 4 p.m. $30-$55 (discounts available). Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury St., 617-536-3356. www.emmanuelmusic.org
ISRAEL AT 60 Israel's contemporary classical composers tend to fly below the radar, but this performance of the Boston Modern Orchestra Project will put them squarely in focus, with works written across the country's six decades. Nov. 2 at 3 p.m. $35-$45 (discounts available). Sanders Theatre, 45 Quincy St., Cambridge. 617-496-2222. www.bmop.org
