SEASON'S MUSIC PROGRAM ONE OF GREAT VARIETY

The musical attractions arranged for the first semester by the Department of Music cover a wide variety of entertainment. There will be an opportunity for the College and community to hear musical programs of the more serious type in the concerts of the Community Orchestra and Chorus, while the lover of the modern light music will be able to attend a concert by the greatest exponents of present day popular music.

Gilbert-Sullivan Opera

The success of the former performances of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas by the Community Chorus will be continued this year with the staging of "lolanthe," one of the most tuneful and popular works in the Gilbert-Sullivan repertoire. The cast will be composed of members of the faculty, student body and community, under the direction of Professor Longhurst. Professor J. P. Richardson, president of the Chorus, has arranged for the performance the last week in November. Later in the year the Chorus will give an entire program of a la capella music, a new venture in the musical life of the community.

The first artist to come to the College this season is the famous blind English organist and composer, Alfred Hollins. Mr. Hollins comes to this county after several tours of the continent and Australia where he has attained the highest place among the virtuosi of the instrument. His recital before the College is scheduled for early in December.

Paul Whiteman

In the same month Paul Whiteman will bring his world-famous orchestra to Hanover for a concert in Webster Hall. The work that Mr. Whiteman is doing in raising the standard of popular music in the country is causing much favorable comment among all musical people. The concerts of last, winter in New York and Boston where "The Symphony in Blue" of Gershwin was interpreted, have placed Mr. Whiteman and his men as pioneers in a new field of musical endeavor. The program of the Webster Hall concert will be of the same high order as those of Symphony Hall.

The Community Orchestra has now acquired a technical proficiency that enables it to offer to the College and nearby towns concerts of the classics and of the more exacting modern foreign compositions. Professor Poor, president, has a tentative program for the first concert of the year which will include the "Pathetique," the best known of the Tschaikowsky symphonies, and the ever popular "L'Apresmidi d'un Faune," by Debussy.
