The Russians are coming
Orchestra to perform
The KU concert course will present the Moscow Chamber Orchestra at 8:20 p.m. Friday in the University Theatre.
The group has previously toured Austria, Germany, Holland and Great Britain.
IT IS AN orchestra of soloists and at some time during the program all members will perform individually. The core of the orchestra is a permanent group of 14 string players, all Moscow Conservatory graduates. Other instruments are used for special works.
When playing music of the 17th and 18th centuries the group performs without a conductor, as was the custom of that period. Beginning with mid-18th century music Rudolf Barshai leads the group.
Barshai, a violinist, has led the orchestra since its beginning in 1955. Now 42 years old, he, too, acquired his musical education at the Moscow Conservatory.
IN ITS BEGINNING, the orchestra was a private organization. Then energetically per-
feeting a type of music not usually included in the regular concert series, the group devoted most of their spare time to it.
Their first public performance, held in Moscow in 1956, was an immediate success. One year later the group was added to the Ministry of Culture.
After a 1963 American engagement, the "New York Times" reported, "It should have come as no surprise that the Moscow Chamber Orchestra is a perfectly wonderful ensemble. Its style is robust, its ensemble is impeccable, its tone is heavenly. Such extraordinary music making 'should not be missed.'"
Friday's program includes: Concerto Grosso in F Major; Op. 3 by Handel; Concerto in A Major by Vivaldi; Visions Fugitives (15 pieces) by Prokofieff; Symphony No. 40 in G Minor by Mozart.
Students will be admitted free but must pick up a reserve seat ticket prior to the concert.
Basketball tickets are on sale
Paying $4 for a student season basketball ticket does not seem to raise many blood pressures.
This is the first year students have had to pay to see the basketball games, previously student IDs admitted them.
Season tickets went on sale this morning at 8:30 a.m. in the east lobby of Allen Field House. They will be sold each day through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Seven thousand student tickets will be available at $4, and spouse tickets at $5.
Only 500 tickets will be held back for single-game sales.
For the most part KU students interviewed on paying to see the games were indifferent. They seemed resigned to the dictates of "city hall."
