Ice-O-Rama Tops ‘Next Week's
Mozart and Prokofieff Concertos on Famed Violinist's Program By HENRY BUTLER NEXT WEEK'S most spectacular show will be the Times Ice-O-Rama Thursday night at the Coliseum. oo Fabien Sevitzky and the Symphony will play host to and accompanjment for Jascha Heifetz, probably the most famous violinist of his generation, next Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at the Murat. Sigmund Romberg will conduct his annual Murat
concert with his touring

orchestra and a new group- of soloists at 8:30 p. m. next Friday. Robert and Gaby (Mr.-and Mrs.) Casadesus will appear in a two-piano recital for the Martens series Monday evening, Feb, 28, at the Murat. Mr. Casadesus, who has played here with the Symphony, will contribute solos in addition to the duets. : \ My colleague Art Wright, who will emcee the Jce-O-Rama again this year, has had almost daily stories in The Times on the progress of the show’s rehearsals, So I don't have to tell you much in detail about what this year’s version of the amateur ice show will include. Apart from its worthy purpose in benefiting
"the Infantile Paralysis Find, thé SNOW has top
merit as entertainment. No professional show can compete with it in the department of youth and grace and sometimes unintended cuteness,
especially When the little kids are out there on
the ice. Audience response to previous versions of the Ice-O-Rama has been terrific. I judge this year's show will be the best yet. As a reviewer, im not always too keen about having to go see shows, but the Ice-O-Rama is one thing I genuinely ‘Jook forward to. . . » ” THERE'S NO doubt about the box-office drawing power of Dr. Sevitzky's soloist fot ‘the
Symphony's 11th pair of subscription concerts.
next Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Heifetz for 30 years has sustained his reputation for fabulo"s skill, tgne and musicianship, so that his name has become almost a trade-name for violin-playing. In next week-end’s concerts he will be heard in Mozart's Concerto No. 7 in D major and the Prokofieff Second Concerto in G minor, both apparently Indlanapolis prefileres, a
Dr, Sevitzky and the orchestra will play Haydn's Symphony No. 22 in E fiat, known as “The Philosopher” and Elie 'Riegmeister's “Prairie Legend: A Midwestern Set,” both also announced as Indianapolis premieres " . . MR. ROMBERG'S soloists for Thursday's concert will include Jarmila Novbtna, Czech soprano of the Metropolitan; Victoria Sherry, soprano operetta star, who sang the title role in “The Merry Widow” last Bowl; Gene Marvey, tenor, and Hazy Bacher, who plays the czimbalom—better known. in this country as the cembalo, —f--might--mention-.-here the performance of Beethoven's Ninth S8ymphony which Ernst Hoffman will conduct at 4 p. m, Sunday, Feb. 27, in Indiana University auditorium; Bloomington. The prodigious work, with the choral last movement, is not too often performed. Mr. Hoffman is ingeniously putting it on the same program with Gershwin’s Piano Concetro in F. ~ » » THE SYMPHONY’S fund-raising campaign, which opens Feb, 28, deserves comment here, The orchestra's board of directors are hoping to raise $100,000 or more. as a backlog for next season's operations. Part of the orchestra's coming campaign is the job of convincing the public the Symphony is essential to the prestige and the educational advantages of Indianapolis, A start has been made in that direction with thé free popular concert in Cadle Tabernacle Feb, 11 and the one tentatively planned for next month, Listeners who perhaps have rever heard a Murat concert will. bé able to judge for themselves that the orchestra is worth supporting. % ) } & »
