The image shows two pages side by side of what appears to be a concert program. The left page is part of a Sunday Evening Program featuring the music of J.S. Bach, and the right page details a concert by The Longy School Chamber Orchestra and The Longy School Choral Group dated Sunday Evening, April 28th, at Eight-Thirty.

The concert program on the right lists the pieces to be performed including several Cantatas by J.S. Bach (No. 61, "Come, Redeemer of our race"; No.53, "Schlage doch, gewünschte Stunde"; and No. 79, "The Lord is a sun and shield"), as well as the Brandenburg Concerto 'in D major for Flute, Violin, Harpsichord and Orchestra' (I assume it's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5).
