KU,county meet goals in'85 drive
By a Kansan reporter
The United Fund announced yesterday that Douglas County barely reached its $500,000 goal on Friday, the official end of the 1985 fund-raising drive.
"We did make our goal on time."
Jo Bryant, executive director of the United Fund in Lawrence, said, "Douglas County raised $501.026.05 at this point."
Bryant said that she expected more donations to come in, although the official drive had ended.
The University of Kansas raised $71,656 this year, 102 percent of its goal.
"Everyone on the KU team worked very hard," said Michael Davis, dean of law and KU United Fund chairman. "I'm very pleased with our success."
Even though KU surpassed its goal, next year's goal won't be automatically increased. Bryant said. The new goal, set in early June, will be based on many factors, including the number of people employed by the University.
Hungarians ready for concert
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
When Janos Ferecenck, conductor of the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra, died last year, the Hungarian government recruited an award-winning conductor for Hungary's oldest and most prestigious orchestra.
The orchestra hired Adam Fischer, a 1973 winner of the Guido Cantelli International Competition for Young Conductors, to conduct orchestra, which is sponsored and supported by the state.
Fischer will perform with the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra tomorrow at the University of Kansas in its first American tour since 1973. The concert, part of the KU Concert Music Series, starts at 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
Tickets are $6.50 and $7.50 for KU and kindergarten through 12th-grade students, $13 and $15 for the general public and $12 and $14 for senior citizens and other students.
Fischer, a former music director of the Freiburg Theatre in West Germany, is the conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic State Opera. His position with the Hungarian State Orchestra is temporary.
As a Budapest native conducting a Hungarian orchestra that is performing Hungarian composers' music, Fischer said recently, the musical interpretation will be "truer.
"We want to show how we play our own music," Fischer said. "The Hungarian language is very strange. You have to be able to read the Hungarian language to perform the pieces correctly because you cannot translate all the idioms that come from the language."
Fischer said the orchestra was performing three programs during its tour, depending on what each management chose.
Jackie Davis, director of the Concert and Chamber Music series, said she chose this program after consulting with faculty members in the department of music.
The KU performance will include Franz Lisszt's "Les Presludes, Symphonic Poem No. 3," Bela Bartok's "Concerto No. 3 for Piano and Orchestra" and Peter Tcheikovsky's "Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Opus 14."
The featured pianist, Jeno Jando,
has won top honors at such international competitions as the Dino Ciani International Piano Concours in Milan, Italy; the Concourses of Versailles, France; and Hungary and the Sydney International Piano Competition in Australia.
Jando, a 1974 graduate of the Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, is making his American debut during this tour with the Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra.
Fischer studied piano and composition at the Bela Bartok Conservatory in Budapest. He studied conducting with Hans Swarosky at the Vienna Academy of Music.
After he won the competition for young conductors, Fischer was invited to become principal guest conductor of the Helsinki National Opera from 1974 to 1977. During that time, he became the assistant conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic.
Fischer made his American orchestral debut in 1983, conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In the same year, he made his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic State Opera.
In the United States, Fischer has conducted the Boston, Chicago and Cincinnati symphonies, the Cleveland Orchestra, the San Francisco Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
"We have every night a concert, and to have the same intensity and to play each one a little differently is difficult," Fischer said. "We have to improvise since each stage has different acoustics."
The orchestra's performance at KU is supported in part by a grant from the Kansas Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional financing is provided by the KU student activity fee, the Swarthout Society and the Kansas University Endowment Association.
