Westminster Singers Here Apr. 26; Chicago Symphony at IU By HENRY BUTLER : THE LOCAL STAGE SEASON is drawing to a close, with mostly musical events
scheduled for the spring.
Besides its current “Thunder Rock,” the Civic has a final May production coming up: “I like It Here,” a light comedy by A. B. Shiffrin, which will run May 14 through
May 22. . BUT NOW THAT we have the Butler Bowl season to look forward to, the old-time summer entertainment drought is relieved. The Messrs. Shubert’s potted plant, “Blossom Time,” is headed for the English Apr. 29 and 30 and May 1. Coincidentally, Composer Sigmund Romberg and his touring orchestra and soloists will occupy the Murat stage for a single program at 8:30 p. m. Friday, Apr. 30. One of the most important concerts this month will be the program by the Westminster Choir, Dr. John Finley Willlamson’s famous organization which has helped train a good many choral conductors including George Frederick Holler of the Indianapolis Bach Choir. Dr. Wil liamson and his choristers from Princeton, N. J., will sing in Caleb Mills Hall Monday evening, Apr. 26, under sponsorship of the Indianapolis Choir Directors’ Association. * > o MR. HOLLER and the Bach Choir will participate in a special.program of choral and organ music at 3:30 p. m. tomorrow in Scottish Rite Cathedral, with the Indiana Chapter, American Guild of Organists, as sponsor. Arthur D. Carkeek, organist, of DePauw University, and Mr. Holler's choir will share the program. Also tomorrow at 8 p. m. in the Murat, a choral program will be given by the Valparaiso University Choir, Richard Schoenbohm directing. Elsewhere in the state, important things are scheduled, such as the Ft. Wayne Philharmonic performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony next Tuesday and Wednesday, with Hans Schwieger dirrcting, and a quartet of soloists
THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA,
Artur Rodzinski conducting, “will be heard in Indiana University auditorium in Bloomington at 3 p. m. Sunday, Apr. 25. And the Metropolitan Opera’s IU season of two performances: “Der Rosenkavalier,” May 3, and “Don Giovanni,” May 4, should be kept in mind. The Met will go on to.Lafayette for a single performance of “La Traviata” in Purdue's Hall of Music May 5, but that visit will be a special event for students and faculty only. This may be a good time to remind you that next summer's Butler Bowl program will include seven symphonic concerts and two performances of Bizet's “Carmen,” besides the three operettas
already listed. : o o¢
DATES AND SOLOISTS for the 8:30 p. m. concerts, to be conducted again by Fabien Sevitzky, are as follows: Sunday, July 12—allGershwin program, Sidney Foster, pianist; Wednesday, July 21-—soloist, Gladys Swarthout, contralto; Friday, July 23—all-Tchaikovsky program with Carroll Glenn, violinist, and Eugene List, pianist; Sunday, Aug. 1—Patrice Munsel, soprano; “Carmen,” Wednesday, Aug. 4, and Sunday, Aug. 8; Friday, Aug. 6, an operatic concert, with soloists drawn from the principals in
