Story by
Robert Thurber
The experience of listening to an orchestra with the vitality of the St.
Louis Symphony has no equal, tt has, as the poet Dryden staid, the ability to
"raise and quell all passions."
Under the energetic direction of Leonard Slatkin, the Il7-member
symphony performed concerts Friday, Saturday and Sunday In their fourth
Lincoln appearance in as many years. '.
Their programs, performed to sellout houses at Kimball Recital Half,
featured varied works including Bernstein's Dybbuk, Beethoven's Symphony
No. 7, Brahms 4th Symphony, Sibelius's Symphony No. 2 and Night on Bald
Mountain by Moussorgsky.
"Each of the programs we prepared contained some contemporary music
by American composers," Slatkin said, "this is our form of a Bicentennial
tribute."
The orchestra responded to the enthusiastic audiences by performing
encores at two of the three concerts.
"Of all the places the St. Louis Symphony performs, we love-Lincoln
the most," Slatkin said after Friday evening's concert. "It's good to be back."
