Concert to be at Wiles Chapel The Lucktenberg Duo will be highlighted in the second New berry College Arts and Lectures Series concert of the school year at 8 p.m., January 15, in the Wiles Chapel on campus. Jerrie Lucktenberg, violinist, and George Lucktenberg, pian ist-harpsichordist, have received widespread acclaim not only for their artistry but for their diver sified programming. Critics have stated of the husband-wife team that “their task is discovering both old and new works for violin and key board, especially the harpsi chord, and giving them meaning ful performances—things which they carry out very well in deed.” Of particular interest to con cert-goers are two of the instru ments which they use in their performance: a Stradivarius vio lin dating back to 1718 and a modern nine-foot concert harp sichord built to Dr. Luckten- berg’s specifications. The varied program ranges from selections from the seven teenth and eighteenth century composers William Babell, Jean- Phillippe Rameau, Pierre Gav- inies and Giuseppe Tartini to the twentieth century Samuel Adler and John Boda. The Lucktenbergs are on the faculty of the School of Music at Converse College, Spartan burg, during the academic year and of the National Music Camp, Interlochen, Mich., during the summer months. The concert for the Luckten bergs had been previously postponed because of racial dis turbances in Newberry at the time. Other Artists and Lectures Series programs scheduled for the season are the Berkshire Chamber Players, Feb. 10, and the Men of Song, March 12. All programs in the Newberry College Series are free of charge and scheduled for 8 p.m. in Wiles Chapel.
