THE 1975-76 K.U. CONCERT SERIES proudly presents:
1. The Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra Friday, October 26—Hoch Auditorium
Possibly the premier big-band in the world today-the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra has picked up jazz where the immortal Duke Ellington left it upon his death this past year. Everyone of the fifteen sidemen in this orchestra is a virtuoso artist in his own right, and guarantees this night to be one that jazz enthusiasts will never forget.
II. David Holloway and Ruth Welting Friday, November 21—University Theatre
A graduate of Kansas University, David Holloway has received top reviews for his portrait of leading baritone roles at the Metropolitan, the New York City Opera, and other major opera companies across the country. At a time when his career is in a brilliant ascendency, he is joined in recital by the lovely Ruth Weltling who has dazzled thousands with her beautiful and fresh soprano voice since her phenomenal debut at the New York Opera.
III. Lili Kraus Wednesday, December 3—Hoch Auditorium
A brilliant example of virtuosity in every sense of the word, Lili Kraus has unquestionably taken her place as one of the greatest masters of the piano ever to come out of Hungary. She has recently added extra luster to her brilliant career by recording all 25 of the Mozart concerts.
IV. Mazowsze Thursday, February 26—Hoch Auditorium
This big Polish company of 100 dancers, singers, and orchestra has been compared to Russia's Moiseyev troupe. John Chapman wrote in the New York Daily News, "All the musicals of Broadway put together could not offer the joyous zest, the dancing skill, the wondrous costumes, the happy humor, and the delightful music which comes to us all in one package." Mazowsze will unquestionably make their debut appearance in Lawrence one that will be remembered in awe by all concert goers of years to come.
V. Mstislov Rostropovich Friday, March 26—Hoch Auditorium
Unquestionably the world's greatest living cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich offers the concert goer an unequaled opportunity to experience a living legend's performance. Rostropovich is again touring in the Western world after being retained in the Soviet Union for some years. His unequaled virtuosity and superb musicianship will provide a magnificent experience that will never be forgotten.
VI. Eugene Fodor Wednesday, April 14—Hoch Auditorium
Last year at the age of 24, violinist Eugene Fodor—who hails from Denver, Colorado became the first and only string player in the Western world to win top honors in the Tchaikowsky Competition in Moscow. This honor occurred just two years after he had won first prize in the Paganini Competition.
