Take note

The fall season is upon us, and events and concerts are packing the calendar! Here are a few to consider:

This Saturday, classical/pop pianist Emile Pandolfi is the headliner in a concert at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy in Sycamore Township to benefit the Cincinnati Chapter of The Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation. Pandolfi, whose CDs have sold more than two million copies, is known for his blockbuster arrangements of Broadway musicals, and apparently, he's quite a comedian, too. The 7:30 p.m. concert is $65 and $40, including a reception to meet the artist afterward. Tickets: 513-494-1099.

The foundation aims to find a cure for the fatal childhood disorder, Niemann Pick C. For more information, visit www.swingforacure.com.

Ann Everson-Price will be honored with a tribute for 20 years in Gospel music broadcasting, in "The Diva of the Air Waves," a three-day celebration Friday through Sunday in three different venues.
