Concert fe By ROB BIGDALKE Monday night at the. new Mc Master Concert Hail, the USC Orchestra presented its annual spring concert. ThIe concert, conducted by Frits de Jonge, included selections from Gluck, Wagner and Copland, and featured Dr. James Pritchard on clarinet as Guest Artist. The first selection, the Overture from "Iphigenia in Aulis" was a particularly appropriate one with which to begin a spring concert. 'The 4tring section, in particular the violins, was magnificent,- and i'eceved excellent support from the trumnpet section. Wagner's "Adagio for Clarinet and String Orchestra" was the first selection to feature Dr. Pritchard, and sadly enoiWh, his performance was far below what one would expect from a musician of his qualifications. Again, the string section performed ad mirably, and, in the ears of this listener, took up the slack of Pritchard,'anerformance. Waiting This was the scene yester< waiting to pick up their newG Annual sales continue this House. Afros'Dr gives two Black awareness and the strains between young black people and their parents were the subject dealt with in two short presen tations that were given last night at 8 in Room 2(07 Russell House by the Drama Club of Afro American students. ,The short vignettes dealt with no riots, no explosive shootouts. Just tl.e day-to-day struggle of young black people attempting to find new definitions for their blackness, and the hesitancy of oloer black people in the face of far-reachng changes. A mot-her's objection to her daughter's Afro hair-style; a middle class father's inability to communicate with his angry son; the kind of problems that don't receive media coverage but that touch the lives of many black tures Pritcl The third selection was Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man." The piece was very_stirring and brought one to the conclusion that this portion of the concert, and perhaps the entire concert, should have been per formed under the stars. It might be well for the Music Department to consider this next year. As one would expect of a fanfare, this piece was performed by the horn section. and, though a few boners were detected, the overall piece was_quite good. Pritchard made 'his second appearance in Weber's "Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra No. 1 in F Minor." Again, his performance, while better than the first, was marred by an apparent lack of control over his instrument. Tlhe final selection of the concert. was a fairly modern composition by John Barnes Chance, 'In troduction and Capprocio for Piano and 24 Winds." It was without a doubt the most outstanding piece of the night, due primarily to pianist Miss Nancy Hill and the conducting of Dr. Pritchard. Pritchard's conducting far sur nassed his plaving.

The open set was designed by Harrison Heller III and con tributed to a sense of openness and audience involvement in the ac tion. The music, made up of selections from the album by the Laso isfoets. was excellent. The acting was enthusiastic, clear and showed evidence of excellent direction by Joclyn Tucker, as well as great sympathy for the parts performed. Actors appearing were LaBrenda Washington, Audreyole McCants, Carolyn Davis, Sandra Rhue, Linda Simmons, Elliott Harris, Anthony Williams, and Angela Wright. The president of Afro Association (Miss Wright), said that more productions are planned for the future. hard be one of the best pianists to have appeared in this area in years. Her control, not only of her instrument, hut also of the tempo of the entire selection left one in awe. To say that the USC Orchestra should perform publicly more often may seem trite, but it Is nevertheless true.
