May 1st Marks Final Lyceum Concert
NELSON AND NEAL
Nelson and Neal, the Australian-
American piano team, will present
a concert in the Brevard College
Campus Center auditorium on
Thursday, May 1st, at 8:15. This
is the fi^al concert in the current
Lyceum Series. Single admissions
will be available at the door.
One of the most popular con
cert attractions ever to tour the
United States, Nelson and Neal
are familiar to Brevard audien
ces, having made several appear
ances at the college and at Transyl
vania Music camp.
Although still in their twenties,
Mr. and Mrs. Neal have probably
filled more concert, engagements
during the past few seasons than
any other two-piano team. The de
mand for Nelson and Neal contin
ues unabated from year to year,
since a great many of their per
formances are return engagements,
again and again, year after year.
A combination of “rare musical
gfnius, youth and charm” is the
description given these artists by
the Progressive Tiroes of Australia
“They make a fine team” confirm
ed the New York Journal-Ameri-
can. These phrases have been echo
ed by metropolitan daily papers
and smalltown weeklies across the
North American continent. In ad
dition to their musical genius and
charm, Nelson and Neal have the
ability and the energy to work
long hours in preparing their pro
grams, driving their specially-built
mobile unit, tuning their pianos
and caring for their infant chil
dren who travel with them.
During the 1952-53 season they
played well over a hundred con
certs from coast to coast.
Allison and Harry have made a
real home on the road out of their
“chariot” as they call their 32-foot
mobile unit, although a small van
equipped with living quarters, in-

C. to play for the May Day Dance,

organized group (about a year old)

rock’n roll music. Although they
