Wiley's Last Concert Enthralls Audience
By IONE TRIMMING (Of The Daily Kansan Staff)
The orchestra stood to honor Russell L. Wiley, professor of woodwind instruments and director of band and orchestra, at the concert Sunday in Hoch Auditorium.
It seemed that the students had pitched the whole concert to show their appreciation to him. It was excellent.
The rich quality of the full orchestra thrilled the audience. Consecutive runs by the violins sounded as one instrument. Each section blended its part with clear tones and distinct timing.
Each of the three soloists added a professional air to the performance. None showed the strain of a week's touring just completed.
Charmaine Asher, instructor of percussions, cimbalom soloist, was featured in the "Hary Janos Suite; by Kodaly. This is one of the first times that the cimbalom part in
this suite was not done by a piano soloist. The ringing tones of the instrument added to the general effectiveness of the selection.
Mezzo tones of Carolyn Craft, Junction City senior, made vividly real the haunting quality of a lost love in "Songs of a Wayfarer" by Mahler. Her voice captured the attention of the audience.
Martha Sue Gewinner, Webster Groves, Mo. senior, gave the cello seldom heard appealing quality. The rich mellow tones added much to the atmosphere of the concert.
