Philharmonic Orchestra Plays For Near-Capacity Crowd
By MARILYN DUBACH
The Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra, conducted by Hans Schwieger, was appreciatively received Monday night by a near-capacity crowd in Hoch auditorium.
First on the program, the "Suite from the Water Music" by George Frederic Handel, featured a beautiful flute solo in the andante, with well-controlled strings throughout.
"Symphony in D Minor" by Cesar Franck, gave an impression of mysticism and a mood of unreality.
Well-played German waltz music, "Suite from Rosenkavalier" by Richard Strauss was of light operatic style. "Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas, was presented in a quick, light manner.
Dr. Schwieger said this generation of students is the most receptive audience yet. His students are aware they need to be good music than students, were 20 years ago.
"More effort should come from parents to teach their children the value of good music, or all the efforts of great artists will be in vain," the conductor said.
Dr. Schwieger said European
universities cannot be compared with those in the United States, because one may not attend a university in Europe until after having achieved a great knowledge of music from a conservatory of music.
Although European universities are much smaller than ours, they are on a basis of a much higher type of learning. Conductor Schwieger said. What we learn in universities is learned by European students in high school.
"I am surprised that more of the students don't take advantage of such a magnificent opportunity, one which presents one of the world's greatest orchestras and conductors," Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy said.
"We are one of the few universities to have the chance to hear such an excellent orchestra," he said.

It is calculated the fort was built late in the first century A.D., and was surrounded by a ditch which was still open in the mid-second century. The fort was dismantled and the ditch filled in at a date assumed to be not long after the year 200.
Sufficient excavations have been made in the Cripplegate area to prove the existence of a fort built to command roads north and west while the province was still being conquered by the Romans.
Dimensions and date of the fort have now been established. It covered an area of about 11 acres, with an east to west width of 230 yards and a north to south length of 250 yards.
Evidence was provided by coim found in the upper filling of the
The latest excavations show three sections of the outer ditch of the fort. Post holes for a bridge crossed the ditch at its southern end. An internal road and part of the gravel surface of a road from the north also were unearthed.
Experts conclude that the ditch and bridge on the south side are from the southern gate of the fort; the road from it points direct to Cripplegate.
ditch belonging to the late second to early third century. Pottery was found in the ditch itself.
The new discoveries indicate the fort was built some time before the Roman wall. Experts have placed the burning of the wall to be around 10 D.
At the southwest corner there was evidence of rebuilding and indications that a later inner wall was built to correspond with that of the fort.
