Lovers of Scandinavian music will be in for a special treat
Feb. 26 when the Chicago Chamber Orchestra appears at the
Augustana gym-auditorium at 8:15 p.m. The theme of the
"Scandinavian Gala" program is drawn from the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of two Scandinavian musical giants,
Jean Sibelius and Carl
Nielsen.
FEATURED WITH THE
orchestra, under the direction
of Dieter Kober, will be Inger
Wikstrom brilliant young
by Gabrielli and Bach to Hin-demith
and Flor Peeters to
folk songs and spirituals.
THE CHOIR develops
some interesting effects with
double and triple choir num-bers.
Gabrielli's Magnificat
utilizes three choirs. A men's
choir, women's choir and
mixed choir alternate and
blend in an amazing composi-tion.
This particular com-position
will be remembered
by those attending the Com-munity
Concert last year
featuring the Robert Wagner
Chorale.
The choir is also present-ing
a Bach Cantata in its pro-gram
this year. Wachet Auf or
Sleepers Wake includes two
choruses for full choir, a
chorale for tenors, recitatives
for tenor and bass, and a
soprano-bass duet. The can-tata
also utilizes an eleven
piece orchestra including four
violins, a viola, cello, bass,
harpsichord, trumpet and two
flutes. Many of the members
of the orchestra are also
choir members.
A BRASS CHOIR is also
used with the final number of
the program, Sing to God With
Gladness by Flor Peeters.
The number,. based upon Psalm
100, uses trumpets, trombones,
horns, and tympani.
The folk song section of
the program includes two
numbers arranged by Dr.
Running, The Lord's My Shep-herd
and My Lord What a
Mornin'. A Spa—rTa master
carol He is Arisen also em-ploys
the traditional Spanish
tambourine and castanets.
The choir is in its forty-fifth
season. It was estab-lished
in 1920 under the direc-tion
of Dr. Carl Youngdahl.
Dr. Running has directed the
choir since 1953. He has
returned to Augustana's cam-pus
this year after a year of
post-doctoral study in Europe.
The choir is now considering
a European tour in the summer
of 1965.

Kuber
Campus concert
is financial bomb
Four Freshman concert
held last Friday in Augustana
gym was a financial bomb for
the student association. Ap-proximately
300 tickets were
sold for the conceit. Jan Ma-jor,
social board chairman,
said that approximately $930
was lost on the concert.
This loss coupled with the
loss of $600 by Solberg Hall
on Si Zentner, the loss sus-tained
with Billy Taylor last
year and the other losses with
name entertainment seems to
dispel any further action to
get name talent at Augus-tan
a.
Swedish painist. Miss Wik-strom
will be making one of
her first appearances since
concluding a tour of the
Soviet Union as a soloist
with the Stockholm Philhar-monic.
Her final performance
in Russia was at Leningrad
on Feb. 16. Miss Wikstrom
will play a concerto for
piano by Erland von Koch.
Another highlight of the
Augustana concert will be the
performance of clarinetist
Stanley Davis of Nielsen's
"Concerto for Clarinet, Op.
57", which is generally re-garded
as the most difficult
ever composed for clarinet.
In addition to the solo
performances the orchestra
will play the "Andante
festivo" by Sibelius; Johan
Helmich Roman's "Partita in
C minor"; "Symphony No. 2
in B flat major" by Johan
Scheibe and two lyric pieces
by the much loved Edvard
Grieg, "Evening in the Moun-tains"
and "At the Cradle".
Dr. Kober and the chamber
orchestra are presently en-gaged
in their third national
tour. Arrangements for their
Sioux Falls concert were
made by the Augustana Con-cert
and Lecture committee.
