	November 8, 4 p.m., Finney Chapel		The 1998-99 Oberlin Faculty Chamber Music Series will premiere the first of three concerts on Sunday, November 8, 4 p.m., in Finney Chapel, with special guest, Oberlin alumnus Alex Klein, who is principal oboist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. All series concerts are free and open to the public. Now in its fifth season, the series was founded to showcase faculty talent of the acclaimed Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The 1998-99 series will feature performances by approximately 20 faculty members. "The series is also seen as a vehicle for creating opportunities for professors to perform together," said George Sakakeeny associate professor of bassoon and director of the series. "The faculty spends its time in teaching lessons, in rehearsals with student ensembles, and/or lecturing and performing all over the U.S. and often abroad. But we have so few chances to perform together and many of us look forward to performing with people whose work we admire."
