Leipzig Orchestra concert
scheduled at Kimball Hall
,,The Leipzig Gcwandhaus Orchestra of
l-ast Germany last performed at UNL's
Kimball Hall in 1978 and proved to Linc
oln audiences its reputation as one of the
world's top touring international orches
tras. The Gcwandhaus Orchestra will be per
forming at Kimball Hall again on Sunday
and Monday. Sunday's performance is
sold out, but a few tickets are left for
Monday.
The orchestra was founded in 1743
by a group of merchants and noblemen,
with J.S. Bach as its leader. Its original
name was Collegium Musicum but the or
chestra received its present name when
the ensemble moved its concerts to the
Gewandhaus, the building that houses
the linen merchants of Leipzig.
Past conductors of this orchestra have
included some of the 19th century's
greats Arthur Nikisch, Gustav Mahler,
Bruno Walter and Wilhelm Furtwacng
ler. The present conductor is Kurt Masur.
Besides conducting the Gewandhaus
Orchestra, Masur is a regular guest of
the London New Philharmonic and the
orchestras of the Teatro La Venice, and
participates in major music festivals, in
cluding the Salzburg Festival.
The Leipzig Gcwandhaus Orchestra
appears through the support of a fund
made available to the University of Nebras
ka Foundation by Viola C. Jelinek as a
memorial to her father, Stephen Jelinek.
Dancers offer diversity
This Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in
Kimball Hall the Nebraska Dance Ensemble
will present its major dance production for
the year. The production is sponsored by
the university. Students were selected from
January auditions.
The program is made up of eight pieces
representing many facets of dance, includ
ing classical ballet, jazz, modern and Balin
ese dance. The choreography was done by
members of the university staff and one
guest choreographer.
Michael Simms, a ballet teacher at
Stevens College in Missouri, was the
guest choreographer. He worked with 12
students in January in order to teach his
piece "Bourneville Dances."
The only faculty member who is per
forming in the production is Marianne
New Wave . .
Continued from Page 8
Side one ends on a high note, Jim
'Cyrano' Skafish's cure for homesickness,
"Disgracing the Family Name." Opening
with a calm rendition of "Swanee River"
on synthesizer, Skafish meekly intones,
"How are the old folks at home?" to the
immediate crash of forceful rythm.
Urban rock
The Damned continue on side two
with a heavy metal broadside, and then
Copeland crops up again under the alias
of Klark Kent in the 1980s-pop song
"Thrills."
The Stranglers toss in avenomous
bass guitar and grandiose organ, providing
a quencher for die hard heavy metal fans.
The roots of new music surface again
with the razor edge of the urgent "Urban
Kids." Chelsea's lament of entrapment
in the big city. The Cramps and The
Humans finish off the first album with a
progressively anxious social commentary
in "Cranium Rock" and "I Live In the
City."
Though the Police contribute heavily
to the set, the vocals of Sting are only
heard on the third side opener "Fallout,"
a song performed before elements of bub
blegum reggae began to seep into their
music.
Ariyanto. She will perform "Taruna Jaya,"
a modern Balinese dance. Ariyanto studied
Balincse dancing while on a Fulbright
Scholarship. She also choreographed
"Other Dances," being performed by a trio
of women, and "Indonesia Suite." The
latter is composed of three dances on the
same, theme.
Twenty-three university students are in
volved in the production. The only re
quirement is to be enrolled in some kind of
dance class at the university.
Nancy Curits Brestel is the first graduate
assistant to be involved in the dancing pro
gram. She has choreographed "Transi
tions." Tickets for the evening performances
arc S3, adults, $2.50 for students, children
and senior citizens. Tickets are available at
the Kimball box office

Sector 27 adds a bridge, but nothing
more, between the lawmen and the semi
legendary John Cale (Velvet Underground),
on a bluesy rendition of Chuck Berry's
"Memphis." Jools Holland, formerly of
Squeeze, now leading the Millionaires,
shakes a leg on the rockabilly tunc "Mess
Around."
Searing lyrics berate the recording
and broadcasting industries on "Jukebox"
and "Rebellious Jukebox" by the Payolas
and The Fall, respectively.
Outstanding on the final side are Patrick
D. Martin's "Computer Datin," tongue-in-cheek
prose rendered in classic Cockney
accent. The great Buzzoeks, minus Howard
Dcvoto, are represented on the pop sound
of "You Sav You Don't Love Me," and
Stewart CopelandKent reappears on "Of
lice Girls." The Kent persona has a pench
ant for the offbeat in instrumental select
ion, and this song features the clatter of a
typewriter punctuating the rhythm.
Greatest its is an energetic glimpse
of the tip of the ascending iceberg of new
music and new artists beginning to break
on our side of the Atlantic. It is neither
overbearing nor offensive, but a viable
alternative to the current stagnant rock
muzak of FM radio. As the liner notes
say, "if you can't dig this, you oughta
look for another shovel."
