W w \\\\wi / S-r .V.vv^'-' CONCERT HIGHLIGHT—The 1972-73 season of the Chowan College Community Concert Association will be highlighted by such outstanding attractions as the Broadway play, “I Do! I Do!” and the Texas Boys Choir, shown above. A membership drive for the concert association will be conducted April 17-22. Concert Association Holds Annual Drive The Chowan College Com munity Concert Association’s annual membership drive was held April 17-22, according to Dr. Hargus Taylor, president, who reported the 1971-73 season as “exciting.” The campaign week opened with a banquet for the workers, Monday, April 17 in the President’s Room of Thomas Cafeteria. The Askew Student Center on Chowan’s campus will serve as the office for the membership campaign. It will be staffed by Miss Sue Laird of the national office and Mrs. A. A. McLean and Mrs. Henry Burgwyn, both of Murfreesboro. Tickets are priced at $5 for students, $10 for individual memberships and $25 for families. Three of the attractions for 1972-73 have been named. TTiey include the North Carolina Bee Hive of Activity By CRAIG GREENE Anyone who has happened by Daniel Hall, the Fine Arts Center of Chowan College during the past few weeks, could not have missed the almost electric behive of activity going on in the Art Department. Dozens of students could be seen hurrying about carving on stones, glazing ceramic projects, matting drawings and framing pictures. They were all excitedly preparing for the first juried student art show in the history of Chowan College. This activity is not new to these art students. They have been working overtime throughout this past academic year, learning the various techniques of drawing, design, painting, sculpture and ceramics. For the competition, each student entered five works completed during the past year at Chowan College. The exhibition, consisting of seventy-six works in all media, were chosen from over two hundred entries. The result is an exciting and fascinating cross-section of the work being done by Chowan’s most creative students. One’s excitement upon seeing the show is intensified by the knowledge that the Art Program here is only in its second year. An opening reception for the young artist will be held in the Chowan College Art Gallery on Sunday, April 23, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The public is invited and urged to attend. The show will run through May 9. Of special interest to “art buffs” is the fact that these works are for sale at resonable prices. This provides the viewer the opportunity to begin his collection as well as well as boosting the confidence and pride of the art student. Little Symphony, the Broadway play, “I Do! I Do!” as an irresistible musical comedy hit that chronicles fifty years of the happy marriage of Michael and Agnes, from its first fumbling night, through the births of their children, the quarrels, the ups, the downs, the tears, the laughter, and the prevading love that binds a couple together, all to the accompainment of a dazzling harvest of song and dance. It is a charming and tuneful tribute to the institutions of love and marriage.” The Texas Boys Choir has 'received raves from critics and the compliment from Igor Stravinsky as “the best boys choir in the world.” The choir has made 12 long play recordings and has appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como television shows. “The 1972-73 season promises to be exciting,” Taylor com mented. “We are indeed for tunate to have visits from the Texas Boys Choir and I Do! I Do! I believe these will prove to be especially attractive presen tations. I would like to remind the public, however, that in dividual tickets are not sold to any concert. Admission is reserved for those holding season memberships in the Chowan College Concert Association.” Taylor explained that those purchasing season memberships would receive, as a bonus, ad mission to the final concert of the 1971-72 season featuring The Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. The concert will be presented Saturday, April 22 in McDowell Columns auditorium at 7:30 p.m. After listening to their concert in Carneigie Hall, the New York Times music critic wrote, “If ever a concert merited the epithet ‘perfect’ it was the one given by Szymon Goldberg and his Netherlands Chamber Or chestra.” Charles B. Barham Ml Alumnus Is Named to High Post Chowan College alumnus Charles B.
