Montoya
Carlos Montoya, the world's
foremost flamenco guitarist, comes to
Pershing Auditorium Friday night. It's
a chance for all of us to witness one of
the finest, most unusual exhibits of
guitaring in the world.-
Before Montoya, flamenco
guitarists were not considered to have
the potential for solo performances.
The repertoire of most flamenco
players is limited, but Mbntoya has
expanded his to include his own
arrangements and original
compositions.
Montoya, a Spanish gypsy, was
born in Madrid. He began playing the
guitar at eight. At 14 he was
recognized as a musical prodigy and he
unusual guitaring
launched his career.
In 1966 Montoya 's Suite Flamenca,
for guitar and orchestra, was
performed with the St. Louis
Symphony.
The special film at Sheldon
Tuesday is Gillo Pontecorva's Burn.
Pontecorva directed the successful
Battle of Algiers. Burn stars Marlon
Brando.
The Union Weekend Film is that
good ol' boy Arlo Guthrie, in the film
adaptation of his talking blues, Alice's
Restaurant. While it doesn't follow the
song exactly, it does present all the
characters as human beings, which is
worth something.
Good Reading:
Seeing Through Shuck, edited by
Richard Kostelanetz, available in
paperback from Ballantine Books.
This is a collection of 24 samples of
radical journalism andor literature
published during the first three years
of the 1970's. Most of the essays rake
industries, individuals and situations
over the proverbial coals. They are
apparently an attempt to create a less
hypocritical society by uncovering
some of the less obvious sins of the
society.
The writers include Abbie
Hcffman, Nora Ephron and Claudia
Dreyfus. They have things to say
about 'The Perils of Newspaper
Illiteracy" and "Das Hip Kapital"
among others.
The attitude of most of the authors
is one of truth-dispensing, which it
ain't. But it is a good, sharp angle on
some of the things we accept in
America.

Powdered wigs, lots of lace and dancing the stately
minuet there's more to chamber music than that, as the
Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music season aptly demonstrates.
Lincoln Friends of Chamber Music, in association with
Sheldon Art Gallery, has contracted appearances with five
chamber music groups for this season, according to Nelson
Potter, one of the group's organizers.
Appearing in concert at the Sheldon Art Gallery will be
what Potter termed the finest chamber music group in
existence, the Juiliard Quartet. The Richards Woodwind
Quintet opens the season, and the Beaux Arts Trio will make
its first appearance in Lincoln. The Severance Quartet,
connected with the Cleveland Symphony, and the Lincoln
Chamber Players also are scheduled.
The Richards Quintet concert is Oct. 27. Among the works
the group will play is a piece by contemporary composer
Irving Fine.
The Severance String Quartet, in concert Dec. 1, will
include Beethoven's Opus 127, Shostakovich's first quartet
and Mozart's Quartet K. 575.
The headline performers of the year wiWbe one of the
nation's top-ranked chamber groups,,vtherl 'Juiliard Quartet.
They will perform works by Spanish composer Arriaga.
The Juiliard Quartet also will play ,tbjp wgrkjs of American
Charles Ives, who has. woven famillarr":tunes '"to his
compositions. According to PoteVJthenaPd?ence,'may hear
strains of Turkey in the Straw, ColurnbiapGem of-the Ocean
or even Reveille in Ives' music.
Closing the season will be The BeauxrtTrjo, another top
ranked chamber music group. The grouptuses a piano, violin
and cello.
The chamber music season alwaysf"'s1b(en independent
and self supporting, according to Potter. Tickets cost $15. He
felt this, in part, has made the concerts faculty-attended
functions. To encourage more students to attend seats
remaining just prior to performance time will be sold for
$1.50, with the hope the student will be interested enough to
buy a season ticket next year.
"We can't offer student prices since the series is
self-supporting, but we're making available any seats left. This
docs involve a danger. If a student is specifically interested in
seeing one of the better known groups, they might not get a
seat. But at least they will be able to get a taste of what
chamber music is," Potter said.
He said about 180 season tickets remain but predicted that
by the first concert, they will be sold out.
