One rarely hears R. Murray Schafer’s shocking musical gambol “A Medieval Bestiary” these days, but fans of melodious naughties will be delighted to know that our own Phoenix Chorale is performing the number in its new fall concert.

Phoenix Chorale artistic director Charles Bruffy will conduct the concert.
