Dance Concert Monday to Star Jean Erdman Jean Erdman, who has been cited by Dance Magazine for originating one of the three best dances on the New York stage during the 1948-49 season, will appear with her ensemble group at 8 p. m. Mon day in Gerlinger Gymnasium. Miss Erdman was born in Hono lulu and studied dance at Sarah Lawrence College. After gradua tion, she formed her own dance company which now consists of nine members. Dancers Lillian Chasnoff and Elizabeth Sherbon appear in her company. “Dawn Song’’ will be the first number of the program and will be presented as a solo by Miss Erd man. Then she and her two assist ants will present “Changing Mom ent,” a pattern of one figure against two. “Passage” and “The Transformation of Medusa” are also to be featured numbers on the program. "Daughters of the Lonesome Isle” and “Ophelia,” which are two of the works on the program, have received much comment from New York critics. In “Daughters of the Lonesome Isle,” the “prepared piano” is used as dance accompan iment. In this, there is no literal meaning or plot as there is in the “Ophelia” number which was woven around the quotation “. . . Oh woe is me, to have seen what I have seen, see what I see.” Miss Sherbon and Miss Chasnoff will appear in a number called “People and Ghosts.” This will be followed by the finale, a solo by Miss Erdman, called “En Pelerin age,” dealing with a medieval tap estry. This will be the only dance con cert given by the company here this season. Songs to be Aired By Public Schools Children from at least 28 schools will participate in the big ‘‘Let’s Sing, America” broadcast originat ing from McArthur Court next Thursday, The program, which will be aired over KOAC, is scheduled for 1:15 p. m. This is the eighth annual broad cast, presented as part of KOAC's School of the Air. Last year 4,000 children participated in the song fest. University public school music majors will participate in the pro gram under the direction of Maude Garnett, professor of public school music.
