Classical Music Concerts
Warsaw Philharmonic to perform Bach, Chopin, Schubert
By Martha Rice
The Battalion
The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, one
of the world's leading musical ensembles, will
appear in Rudder on Friday, opening the 1991-
92 season for OP AS.
The Philharmonic first performed in public
in November 1901, and has been highly ac
claimed since World War I. Great performers
of all times have accompanied the orchestra
over the years, which was briefly disbanded
during World War II.
Since the 1947-48 season, the name War
saw Philharmonic has echoed in the corners of
the world, from music festivals in Vienna and
Moscow to concert halls in Japan, Italy and the
United States. The orchestra is accompanied
by its own choir which boasts a repertoire of
over 100 oratorios ranging from medieval to
contemporary styles.
The orchestra is currently under the direc
tion of Kazimierz Kord, whose background in
cludes studying at the School of Music in Gra
ce and directing the Cracow Opera and the
Polish National Radio and Television Orches
tra.
Kord came to direct the Warsaw Philhar
monic in 1977. Like the Philharmonic's guest
pianist for Friday's performance, Piotr
Paleczny, Kord has been involved recently
with the international Chopin Piano Competi
tion, a competiton that seeks to reward the

world's greatest pianists.
Paleczny studied at the Warsaw Conserva
tory and has received many awards for his
playing.
The ensemble will be performing three
classical works: "Toccata and Fugue in D mi
nor" by Johann Sebastian Bach, "Piano Concer
to No. 1 in E minor, Op. 11" by Frederic
Chopin, and "Symphony No. 9 in C major" by
Franz Schubert.
According to musicologists, the "'Toccata
and Fugue'...is a work of youthful exuberance,
a brilliant showpiece, composed by a musician
of dazzling virtuosity..."
Chopin debuted his "Piano Concerto" in
1830 to a welcoming public at the concert that
would be his last.
The final piece, by Schubert, "presents a
challenge to the artistic, technical and physical
powers of conductors and orchestral players."
Robert Schumann, who directed the work after
Schubert's death, called it the "symphony of
heavenly length."
This OPAS season continues with "M. But
terfly” on October 6, and the Bolshoi
Ballet/Grigorovich Company will present
"Swan Lake" October 16-20. For more informa
tion, call 845-1234.
Brazos Valley Symphony opens season with pops concert
By Margaret Coltman
The Battalion
The Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra's Renaissance Season
opened triumphantly with its New World Pops Concert on Tuesday
evening. Aptly named, the program consisted exclusively of American
works.
While it is unusual to open a season with a pops concert, conductor
Franz Krager's amiable commentaries and the orchestra's fine perfor
mance made the absence of more traditional repertoire forgivable.
The brief but bright introduction to the program was John Wasson's
"American Fanfare.^ Scored for brass, woodwinds and percussion, it
showed off notable section talents.
Composer-in-residence Julie Davison Larson is to be lauded for her
evocation of heroic spirit in "For Which it Stands," written in response
to Desert Storm. Composed for computer and orchestra, it is somewhat
minimalistic, and the strings had sentimental lines under the continuum
of the computer.
The inclusion of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," led
by a guest conductor, was unusual, but Krager explained that the work
was rained out on the July 4 concert this year. The winner of the auction
gave the honor of conducting to his son - a young boy dressed in tails/
no less, who kept the beat very nicely.
Ron Nelson's "Rocky Point Holiday" was well-played, and gave the
impressions the composer was trying to evoke - a wind-swept resort on
the east coast called Rocky Point.
The highlight of the evening was Leonard Bernstein's "West Side
Story: Symphonic Dances." Communication between the orchestra and
Krager was at a high and the piece came off superbly, although the
"cool" fugue lacked essential energy. At times, the orchestra seemed to
be tired, which it may well have been, considering the length of the
work.
The main problem with Aaron Copland's "Rodeo: Four Dance
Episodes" was the musicians' tentativeness. The devilish rhythms no
doubt contributed to this, but the entire work was affected. "Rodeo"
has such raw, open spirit, and it knows when the musicians are scared
of it - and it will refuse to work.
After such a demanding program, it is no surprise that George
Gershwin's "An American in Paris" did not have the emotional edge of
the earlier works on the program. However, it had remarkable beautiful
moments, especially in the sentimental melody that reappears in many
voices and instruments.
The unique relationship between Krager and the orchestra is clearly
evident. It would seem that mutual respect reaps positive results. The
Symphony, under Krager, has been hailed as one of the best regional or
chestras in America.

worry because we are directly
helping them. If we didn't help
them, they couldn't study."
Treinies agrees and said, "I
feel like it's nice for them to have
someone reliable, someone who
is consistent."
Most students do not know
about Support Services, both
Montgomery and Treinies said,
and they encourage anyone who
has time to volunteer.
"You don't have to apply,"
said Montgomery, "You can
walk into the office off of the
sidewalk and volunteer."
There is no requirement to be
familiar with the subjects being
read or the tests being given.
Treinies said that she was select
ed by a blind student specifically
because she had no working
knowledge of his major.
"He wants to learn on his own;
he doesn't want me to do the
thinking for him," she said. "He
tells me where to put stuff on the
page, and I read him stuff off of
the worksheet."
The experiences are definite
ly worth the effort, Montgomery
said.
"If you have a little free
time," she said, "go read for
Support Services."
