There will be a soprano, an alto, a tenor and a baritone performing Sunday afternoon at the N.C. Museum of Art. But rather than voices, they will be saxophones belonging to the foursome who make up North Carolina-based Lenoir Sax. Their concert for the Raleigh Chamber Music Guild covers a range of French composers, from Debussy and Satie to Pierné and Clerisse, appropriate for an instrument invented in France. There's more French immersion available in the pre-concert tour of program-related paintings in the museum. 821-2030; www.rcmg.org
