Second In Summer
Artist Series Here
Next Wediu&day
An engaging program of solos
and duets, ranging from the suave
melodies of the classicist to the
modern rhythms of the ontem
porary composers, will be "pre
sented by Paul and Adriana
Knowles in the second attraction
of the Summer Artist Series
Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Union
Ballroom.
The series, sponsored by the
summer session, is free to stu
dents, faculty, staff, and guests of
the University.
Paul Knowles, tenor, and bis
lovely wife, Adriar.a, mezz-so-prano,
are both distinguished
vocalists in their own right.
Knowles won the Metropolitan
Opera Auditions of the Air and
has been awarded a Fullbright
scholarship for foreign study.
He has made an enviable repu
tation as an oratorio and opera
singer and has sung with the
Philadelphia Orchestra and Bos
ton Symphony, as well as three
Town Hall performances with the
Little Orchestra Society of New
York.
Mrs. Knowles has sung with
such artists as Robert Merrill and
Marguerite Piazza, both of the
Metropolitan Opera, and has been
soloist in many musical per
formances in Boston and New
York.
She won a scholarship at the
New England Conservatory where
she studied two years, and for
the past two years has been fea
tured on the NBC television pro
duction, "Ybur Show of Shows."
Many singers have married
other singers, but not many have
worked to pursue joint careers.
The programs which these two
young singers have arranged give
both an equal opportunity to dis
play their art to the full, con
sisting, as they do, of solos as
well as duets.
They have combined their tal
ents to present a series -of delight
ful concerts wherein each can
display his artistry. Their pro
gram includes such composers as
Mozart, Verdi, Donizette, Coward,
Romberg and Kern.
