New Chamber Concert Series Offers Intimate Performances ^uu, uw;. xuo luuunuig aun y is an explanation of the newly formed Chamber Concert series. In it AI Kirk explains the puropse of the series and its relation to the already-existing Civic Music series.) By AL, KIRK A definite need has been felt by music students, and interested stud ents and1 faculty members, for a supplement to the Civic Music ser ies run each year in McArthur court. This need arises out of two main circumstances. The type of and selection of music performed, and the uninspiring and impersonal atmosphere created by McArthur court and the large audience. The “Chamber Concert Series” offers a contrast to this situation by being performed in the Univer sity school of music auditorium to a more select audience, and by of fering performance of music select ed by the school of music faculty, and the students of the three spon soring organizations, for its musi cal significance and educational value. More Personal The smaller auditorium will cre ate a much more personal atmos phere for artists as well as the aud ience, and a planned reception fol lowing each concert will give those interested a chance to meet and talk with the performers. In this series the music’s being featured rather than the big name of an artist. The practice of fea of an artist. The practice of featur of the music, is found only in this country. It is created by high pow ered press agents, and one of the IT jobs of musicians and serious list eners is to make the public realize that a press agent affects neither the quality of performance nor the music. Music Above Artist By featuring the music over the artist, there is no interest to cre ate the false impression that the arists performing on this series are not all top ranking professional mu sicians. The members of the Cali fornia String Quartet, who will be heard November 8, in the first of the series, are all first chair men in their respective sections, in the San Francisco symphony. The second concert, a piano recital, will be per formed during winter term, by Bernhard1 Abramowitsch, designat ed by critics as “one of the foremost pianists residing on the west coast, and one of the most commanding figures in the field anywehr.e” The third performance of the series will take place spring term and will consist of the opera per formed each year by the school of music. The outstanding success of the last year’s performance speaks for the appeal of the apera perfor mance. First Time It is worthy of note that this is the first time such a series has been offered on this campus, and the sponsoring organizations are depending on the students and the faculty of the University for the majority of the audience, although interested townspeople are also welcome. Tickets for the series of three concerts are priced at $3., and may be purchased from any member of j Penalties Asked By Marquette Coach MILWAUKEE, Nov. 2 (API— Something new in football penalties —a $75 fine for each of the officials if one of them doesn’t know the rules and the others don’t call him an it—was advocated yesterday by a 29-year veteran of college coach ing.
