ALISON BALSOM (Sunday) The indispensable Free for All at Town Hall series continues with a recital by the trumpeter Alison Balsom. Forging a solo trumpet career is not easy. And almost all the players who have succeeded have been male. But Ms. Balsom, a 27-year-old Brit, is having great success, with two acclaimed EMI Classics recordings already to her credit. She is joined by the Balsom Ensemble for a program of works by Bach, Purcell, Handel, Byrd, Falla and Piazzolla. At 5 p.m., Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, Manhattan, (212) 707-8787, freeforallattownhall.org; free tickets will be available at the box office at noon. (Tommasini)
