"Each of the programs we have prepared contain some contemporary music," Slatkin said, "But the final concert on Sunday will be a special performance entirely composed of contemporary works, something the St. Louis Symphony has never done before. - Slatkin said this concert was prepared especially for , Lincoln because of the extra time ailoted them during their I stay. , . ." I "In years past our schedule has been too hectic to permit us the needed time for rehearsing such a program," he said. "This year we have the time, in fact we have nearly a free day when we arrive. A somewhat new format, also being introduced at the Sunday performance, is similar to those Slatkin has arrang ed in Minneapolis where he is frequently a guest conductor. The new format includes an informal approach to the music in that the orchestra plays sections of the pieces and then discusses them with the audience before completing , the work. j This is particularly important in understanding conternp- j orarv music, Slatkin said. "My hope is that the concert will be as educational as it is enjoyable. Works scheduled for the Nov. 2 concert include Stravinsky's Star Spangled Banner, Donald Erb's Seventh Trumpet, a collection of pieces from the work of Charles Ives, Sibelius's Symphony No. 2 and Slatkin's own work Extensions I. . "We also have prepared a special surprise encore for the Sunday concert, Slatkin remarked, "something you will have to hear to believe. In describing his own piece, Extensions I, Slatkin ex plained it as an improvisation work for Mallsf percussion and keyboard. "It is a very simple idea expanded," he said. "The whole piece is based on one six-note chord and its variations. The players listen to each other and move when it feels right." Audience reaction, according to Slatkin, always has been good for this relatively recent style of composition. Previous Lincoln appearances of the St. Louis Symphony have been astoundingly popular, with most tickets sold out the day they went on sale. " However, this year, according to Ron Bowlin, coordin ator of Kimball Recital Hall programs, a limited number of seats still are available by mail order. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, America's second oldest orchestra, performs more than 200 concerts annually. The Lincoln oerformances will mark the fourth time the ' Symphony has played in the capital city.
