again by folky trio Good Old War, Green offers a more pianodriven affair, the story-songs providing a refreshing note on Green’s bloodletting between his prior work solo and with Circa Survive. Saturday’s show concludes a month-long tour, and Green, ever the family man, is bringing along the wife, the kids and even the dogs. —Marc Snitzer Sat., Dec. 14, 8 p.m., $16-$22, with Dave Davison and Psychic Babble, Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 215-232-2100, r5productions.com.

Dolce Suono Ensemble will present a full program of five composers, including classics from Prokofiev and Shostakovich, music by Weinberg that was suppressed by Stalin in 1948 and only recently discovered, and a sonata by Sharlat. And there will be a world premiere from the always fascinating David Finko, who studied both submarine engineering and music as a young man in Soviet Russia. —Peter Burwasser Sun., Dec. 15, 3 p.m., $25, Lenfest Hall, Curtis Institute, 1616 Locust St., 267252-1803, dolcesuono.com.
