New Brasses Added To
Symphony Orchestra
I The University Symphony orchestra
is being enlarged by the addition of
several out-of-town players who will
use brasses, according to Madam
Felice d'Horvath," director. It has
been difficult, or impossible in some
cases, to find Columbians who are able ,
to play these instruments.
In November, when the first concert
is given, the following numbers
will be offered: "Overture To Oberon,"
by Weber; Schubert's "Unfinished
Symphony;" and Johann Strauss'
"Blue Danube Waltz." In addition
S v there will be several vocal soloists, the
first of which will be Maurice Matteson,
head of the University School
of Music.
The orchestra will give the usual
four concerts this year and has already
held the initial rehearsal. The exact
date in November of the first concert
has not yet been definitely set.
