Musical Notes Universities Offer

Top Slate Art At Herron

Outstanding Programs By ANNA Z. ADLER be the scene of the first mid-

These crisp fall days see the highways leading to our universities clogged with fans headed toward the huge football stadiums. But attractions other than sporting events are likewise exerting their pull and impelling many people to go on pilgrimages to the universities of the state. Oddly enough, the magnets drawing these travelers are cultural events with particular stress on music. Of the influence of the Indiana University School of music I have written many times, but Purdue and Ball State, the latter largely by virtue of the generosity of the Ball family, are likewise offering outstanding programs. Certainly they provide a rich supplement to what is available locally. Many times this abundance poses a dilemma for the music lover of. where to go on any given night. Purdue’s exciting program is presented either in the Loeb Playhouse or in the Elliot Hall of Music. The initial offering of the season, staged in the former location, was presented on Tuesday, Oct. 28. As a part of the Chamber Music Series the “Deller Consort” played seldom heard music from the Baroque and Renaissance periods. This unique ensemble consisted of four voices and four instrumentalists under the leadership of the counter-tenor, Alfred Deller. THEIR SPECIAL Convocation Series got off to a fine start last Thursday with the offering presented by the Stuttgart Ballet, an internationally-known company of forty-five dancers and full orchestra. This group, which also appeared at I.U., presented a most attractive and imaginative version of “Taming of the Shrew.” The youthful, extremely well-trained group, whose ranks represent many nations, gave a refreshing performance, marked by imaginative choreography and an exciting original musical score based upon the work of Domenico Scarlatti. Their efforts were # enthusiastically received by a large audience. On Nov. 20, Elliot Hall will

west appearance of the N.H.K. Symphony Orchestra of Tokyo, now making its first appearance in this country. I am eagerly awaiting hearing this far eastern orchestra, considered the finest in the Orient, which will be conducted by Hiroyuki Iwaki. It should be interesting to compare its execution of western music with that per-. formed by the orchestras of this country and of Europe. It would be odd indeed if the Japanese, having invaded the industrial sphere with such striking and even ominous success, should repeat this dominance in the area of music. Better watch out, Herbert van Karajan and George Czell, the Japanese are coming! Certainly it is evident that the Japanese are coming more and more under the influence of Western music, both as regards its appreciation and jts execution. ONE OF THE novelties featured at the Loeb Playhouse will be the Greg Smith Singers, who will appear on Sunday, November 16th, at 2:30 p.m. This choral group of thirty-five artists frequently splits up into smaller groups aranged around the hall. Their presentation includes classical, contemporary, and a sprinkling of folk music. Closer to home, Butler began its season Sunday under the guidance of its new symphony orchestra conductor, Jackson Wiley. Participating with the orchestra were Martin Marks and Frank Cooper, of the piano department, who played works of the modern Polish woman composer, Grazny Bacequicz. In presenting an entire concert of this almost unknown composer, Mr. Wiley declared he was attempting a new approach in “avoiding the tired favorites.” All this activity points up the fact that within a generation our universities have transcended their traditional role of serving just as a center of learning. They are now playing a significant role in the development and appreciation of the arts.

Speaker Rabbi Marc D. Angel will be the guest speaker at the 50th Anniversary Banquet of the Sephardic Community of Indianapolis, this Sunday evening, Nov. 2 at Etz Chaim synagogue.

By MILT & MELANIE ALTER The 1969-70 opening of the John Herron Museum art rental collection opened recently with a mixture of good artists from previous years and some fresh new talent. Some new people showing some progressive talent is exactly what was needed in this showing. Not new to the scene but showing handsome woodcuts was Marilyn Feighner. Educated at De Pauw University and John Herron, Marilyn says she wishes “to recreate the image of ordinary everyday things in an expressionistic and unique way.” That she does. Her subject is everyday — her colors are mod. A newcomer to the scene, Rob O’Dell, is already making a big hit. Educated at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, O’Dells’ work not only hints of Andrew Wyeth in looks but in feeling. There are handsome still-lifes by Rosemary Browne Beck, sweet floral bouquets by Clotilde Funk, some silkscreen on glass by Garret Boone, nice new etchings by Ruth Hermansen, the always-handsome work of Ben Mahmoud and Floyd Hopper and many other top pieces of work. The variety is wide and in most cases of high quality. Art work is available from the Herron Art Rental on a purchase or rental plan, the latter giving you a chance to live with a piece for awhile to decide if you like it enough to purchase it.
