Thursday, February 10. 1983 John Kuzma Williams To Perform The internationally acclaimed American Boychoir of Princeton, N.J., will perform in concert in Elizabeth City, at the S. L. Sheep Auditorium, February 26, at 8 P.M. A local boy, Michael Kerry Williams, 12, is a high soprano with the choral group. He entered the classical choir school last year on the Robert Hobbs scholarship as the most promising new boy in music, scholarship and deportment and has since earned an award for his “at titude” in the demanding English-type boarding school. Jack and Lynda Williams, sponsors and co-chairmen of the event, said, “This perfor mance will be a rare treat not only for our Albemarle area but a thrill for us since our son Michael Kerry will be retur ning from extended tours to his home town where much interest has been shown in his musical training and the outstanding repertoire of the American Boychoir.” Formerly the Columbus Boychoir, founded in 1937, the American Boychoir has sung for kings and presidents, at the Vatican, the White House, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, R jJio City and the Philadelphia Academy of Music. They have sung under the batons of Toscanini, Bern stein, Crmandy, Leinsdorf, Munch, the Bach Aria Group and James Weaver-of Smithsonian ChdbiMW fli-l chesfta, which recorded their “Messiah” with tenor Charles Bressler. They commit 100 songs to memory in five or six languages each year, even Hungarian and Yiddish and delight millions on national TV at Christmas as well as the nightly sign-off of the New Jersey Public Television Network. The Williams family said there is no other school with this kind of musical training, academics, travel, team spirit and self-discipliine. They said, “We have to agree with Bill Bennett, executive producer, Division of Perfor ming Arts, Smithsonian Col lection, that ‘There is a preci sion of sound, attributable in part to excellent diction and iri part to general vocal techni que. For my money, better Uian the vaunted boychoirs from across the Atlantic.” The pure and engaging sounds of the American Restraining Order Ok’d Continued From Ffege I B dominiums at a resort area.

The firm is also restrained from remov ing the already established escrow funds without permis sion of the court. 4 preliminary hearing on the lawsuit, which asks for full refunds and civil penalties, was scheduled for February 4 in Wake County Superior Court to determine if the temporary restaining order should remain in effect until the matter is resolved. Michael Kerry Williams Boychoir electrify audiences and critics when they sing Zoltan Kodaly’s rich, spirited music based on Hungarian folk music and Charles David son’s haunting, “I Never Saw Another Butterfly.” Church Music from England and a mastery of Bach is mixed with secular music producing the best of Europe with a uni que American sound. Robert Jones, of the New York Daily News, has said, “Nothing in music carries quite the peculiar thrill of great boys’ choir in action. If Angels ex ist, and if they sing, they pro bably sound something like a group of boys’ voices.. .scrap phically pure, oddly other worldly: half silver, half silk.” In special programs all 35 members of the school, grades 3-8, the training, junior and concert choirs, perform together, but the touring con cert choir is composed of 26 voices, directed by John Kuz ma, a consummate keyboard artist, Filbfight scholar, honors graduate of the Eastman School of Music, and the University of Illinois, where he studied under the famous conductor, Harold Decker. Mr. Kuzma directed boys and mixed choirs at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in San Diego, taught at the Universi ty of California and was organist and conductor at started the forj Robert Schuller’s “Hour I Power” on television and founded and Continued On Page 8-B '• a J9H ,&. i n 4 rani if ~ W&jiMk, &* ' •••••. $ A 0 ® a A f A ta^^m >3%/ l j/ji~ iH fir • jßHni^'* ? ;;,,:- The Carolina Review: Ellis Discusses Future Plans ELLlS...Taking time out from the wholesale confusion that was the beginning of this legislative session, I recently made a courtesy call on the chairman of the National Con gressional Club, Tom Ellis. Ellis is, of course, the head mentor for Sen. Jesse Helms. Mr. Tom doesn’t give many interviews anymore. Carter Wrenn, the day-to-day direc tor of the club, gives none. Ask them, and they’ll tell you, the news media just hasn’t been giving them and their candidates a fair shake. So when they want something in the paper or on tv, they pay for it. It was a cold day outside, but nothing compared to the chill between Gov. Jim Hunt’s capitol office and the Ellis law firm, only a five minute walk down Fayetteville Mall. Most recently, Hunt and Ellis were debating “workfare,” as opposed to welfare, and whether the governor supported the idea. A Congressional Club ad had suggested Hunt did not. The governor was angry because the state currently has a pilot workfare plan in several counties. The ad had been discon tinued, though it was easy to see that Tom Ellis wasn’t con vinced of Hunt’s dedication to workfare. “It’s hard to tell what they’re doing with state money,” he said. I agreed. But you don’t have to agree with his politics to like Tom Ellis. And you have no dif ficulty identifying his politics, a self-defined conservative. The candidates he and his organization support are con- STEAM - HOT WATER - HOT AIR CHILLED WATER - HEAT PUMPS CENTRAL STATION - GAS I THE AREA’S ONLY COMPLETELY LICENSED I 8 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTORS / THE CHOWAN HERALD servative people who believe in a return to basics and the “American way” of life. Tom Ellis defines a liberal as “someone who is liberal with someone elses money.” Jim Hunt, the way Tom Ellis sees it, is a liberal. “No difference between a Walter Mondale and Jim Hunt-other than the hair-do.” he said. You can argue with Ellis about a lot of things, both Hunt and Mondale consider themselves “moderate”~if they accept any label at all. Compared to a Tip O'Neil, they are moderate, and Hunt is more moderate than Mondale. But after doing some soul searching, I decided I couldn’t argue with Chairman Ellis on the media question. When Ellis complains, it’s usually about the Raleigh News and Observer. “They love Jim Hunt, he can do no wrong,” he said, “and now that he’s going to run against Jesse, they won’t touch him.” Ellis maintains too, that much of the rest of the state media follow the lead of the N&O. “How often do you hear the radio news broadcaster in the morning, reading almost off the front page of the N&O?” he asks. Os course, the Congres sional Club has asked for trou ble a lot of times. During a campaign, you can call the club and get the run-around a half-dozen different ways. In the past they’ve seemed paranoid. Ellis responds that he doesn’t know which came first, the chicken or the egg. On the other hand, you call the governor’s office, and one of two top aides, with direct access to the governor, 'Will give you the answer or get it for you. Here, it’s a difference of style. Tom Ellis hinted that he could prove what he was say- Letter To The Chowan Herald Editor: Dram Law Dear Editor: Despite the pitiful hue and cry from tavern owners about the dram shop law, it needs to be pointed out that responsi ble operators have nothing to fear. It’s the irresponsible ones who will be affected and they should be.
