15-year-old
guest violinist
with orchestra
Fifteen-year-old violinist Eunice Lee
will join the Lincoln Symphony Orches
tra, under the direction of Robert
Emlle, on Tuesday in the opening con
cert of the orchestra's 1988-87 season,
The performance will be held at
O'Donnell Auditorium on the Nebraska
Wesleyan campus, 50th and Hunting
ton streets at 8 p.m. "Symphony
Reviews," a pre-concert lecture byUNL
musicologist Brian Mann, is. at 7:30
p.m.
Lee will be heard in the "Concerto
for Violin" by Mendelssohn. Also on the
evening's program are "Prelude to
"Hansel and Gretel" by Humperdinck
and "Symphony No. 6" by Nielsen.
Though still in her teens, Lee enjoys
a degree of fame and acclaim that
marks her as one of her generation's
most exciting and accomplished musi
cians. Over the past decade, success in
concerts and competitions has earned
this performer enthusiastic praise in
both the United States and Great Bri
tain. In 1983, Lee already the young
est winner in the history of the nation
wide Julius Stulberg Auditions won
the Yehudi Menuhin International
Competition in England, also receiving
the audience prize of the event. Five
months after this triumph, Lee per
formed the Paganini "Violin Concerto
No. 1" with the Pittsburgh Symphony,
conducted by Andre Previn. Articles
about this landmark performance ap
peared in "Musical AmericaHigh
Fidelity" and "Ovation" magazines. In
April 1984 Lee appeared with the Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, conducted
by Sir Georg Solti, as the youngest viol
inist ever to perform with that orches
tra in a subscription concert. In a dis
play of enthusiasm at the conclusion of
the dress rehearsal, Chicago Symphony
members exploded into applause and
cheers; the reviewer called her "the
supreme artist of her generation by
virtue of her fantastic technical skil
1. . . positively destined to become an
artistic legend in the annals of music
history and In her own lifetime."
The world premiere of "Symphony
No. 2" by Robert Beadell and a perfor
mance by the winner of the J. Edmunds
and Thelma Miller Award for Young
Artists will complete the seven-concert
subscription series.
Ticket prices for the series range
from $33 to $77. Information is availa
ble from the Lincoln Symphony Or
chestra, 474-5610.

At Kimball:
Tickets are still available, but won't
last long, for the Preservation Hall Jazz
Band, which will perform Oct. 19 at 3
and 8 p.m. This is undoubtably the
happiest, most joyful music ever played
In the history of Mankind.
"If you don't like to clap your hands
and tap your toes, don't come," the
advertisements say. But that's about all
you can do at Kimball, so don't wear
your dancing shoes. I'd rather see these
guys in a dance hall, but that's the
breaks.
Tickets are $15 and $11, and UNL
students get in for half-price.
Elly Ameling, the Dutch soprano
who is renowned for her interpreta
tions of art songs, will present an
international evening of songs next
Sunday.
Her program, "Songs From the Music
Halls of the World," will offer a musical
tour of Europe and the United States.
Ameling, admired as one of the world's
foremost concert singers, is known for
breaking down the barriers that usu
ally keep pop and art singers in differ
ent spheres. She has not only accomp
lished this feat on the concert stage,
but also in the recording studio. Her
current album, "Sentimental Me," with
Louis Van Dyk, piano, and John Clay
ton, double bass, contains songs by
Duke Ellington, Cole Porter and Anto
nio Carlos Joblm.
While in Lincoln, Ameling will teach
a class to voice majors on Oct. 13, from
2 to 4 p.m. in Kimball Hall. The class is
open to the public at no extra charge.
Tickets for the concert are available
at Kimball's box office for $13 and $9;
half-price for students.
At the Zoo:
Tonight, T-bone Tommy and the Spare
Ribs, formerly known as The Fretz will
play starting at 9 p.m. Cover Is $1.50.
Movies:
"Aliens" is now playing downtown.
This fantastic sci-fi film won't be on the
big screens for too much longer. If you
miss It now, you'll be stuck watching it
on a VCR on a tiny TV screen. Believe
me, "Aliens" will lose all its impact on
TV. "Aliens" is playing through this
week at Cinema Twin, 13th and P
streets.
Concerts:
Tonight The Connells, a band from
Raleigh, N.C., will play a KZUM benefit
at Tooth's Gallery, 905 O St. Opening
bands will be The Necktie Party and
Playground. Tickets are $3, but attend
ance does not free KZUM listeners from
their moral obligation to pledge this
week's marathon. The show starts at
7:30 p.m. See related article on page 1.
Cancellation:
The Mitch Ryder concert set for
Tuesday night at the Drumstick has
been cancelled. The opening band,
Bobby Lowell and The Wrecking Crew,
still will play. Cover will be $3.
'Ex-Mutants 'provoking

"Ex-Mutants," by David Law
rence, on Lim and lira Dzon,
(Amazing Comics)
The rash of spoofs covering Marvel's
mutant craze and other trends, such as
the popular parodies of other spoofs,
has produced a few unwitting classics.
"Ex-Mutants" 1 came along about
the time the first spoof parodies hit the
stands. It looked like another "X-Men"
spoof, but the cover was interesting
enough to provoke a look inside. It's
black and white, but the art is still
good for an independent superhero
comic.
Comics Now
But "Ex-Mutants" isn't about super
heros, or even mutants. "Ex-Mutants"
is about a world devastated by nuclear
war, its inhabitants all turned into
gross mutations of their former selves.
It's about one of the last scientists
who, using remnants of biological war
fare devices, takes a group of horribly
mutated youngsters (four females and
one male) and makes them fully human
again.
"Ex-Mutants" is a fun comic, dwel
ling not too long on the terrible aspects
of post-holocaust life except where it
directly threatens the protagonists. It's
not a parody comic anymore, just a
reversal of a standard theme that
seems to work fairly well. If it's unreal
istic, corny or bloody sometimes, it
doesn't matter, as the story is less
about the situations than it is about
how the kids handle them and grow.
"Captain Confederate" 3, by
Will Shetterly and Vlnce Stone
(Steeldragon Press)
A good example of a more polished
title than "Ex-Mutants," "Captain Con
federacy" shows how the world might
look under a different set of circum
stances. This world hasn't suffered the
rapes and ravages of a nuclear war. It
explores what might have happened
had the Civil War ended in a stalemate
(or something akin to that; the author
didn't make this point clear in the
issues I read) and a Confederate Na
tion been kept intact. Will Shetterly
infers many historical events that would
have happened differently, from Mar
garet Mitchell not writing "Gone With
the Wind," to the establishment of a
secret super-formula to create the ulti
mate media spokesman that a govern
ment could have a national super
hero. And more in between. All in all,
the comic seems fairly believable and
is food for thought. This could be
because Shetterly has written several
fantasy novels, giving him a familiarity
with how to flesh out backgrounds and
make characters work within them.
Vince Stone's art is similar to How
ard Chaykin's, but stands well on its
own. His people look real and he paces
events well; making the action flow and
the conversations appear to belong
where they are put. I would like to see
more of his art in color, to see just
where the Chaykin influence ends.
