Carol Smith, a lovely young
mezzo-soprano who conquered an
early-career heart attack to be-
come an international star, will
sing at St. Andrews on Friday
night. May 1.
Her performance will be the last
of the current concert-lecture
series at the college, it begins
at 8 p.m. in the Liberal Arts
Auditorium on campus, and is
open to the public.
Miss Smith has chosen two se
lections from Handel to open her
program. She will also sing a
group of German lieder and
arias from several operas, clos
ing with “Sequidilla” from Bi
zet’s “Carmen.”
National concert tours have
taken her from coast to coast
in solo recitals, concert per
formances with leading symphony
orchestras, and a coveted posi
tion with the Bach Aria Group.
Miss Smith has made eight re-
ords with three major recording
firms, including “Cavalleria
Rusticana” with Zinka Milanov
and Jussi Bjoerling, Beethov
en’s, “Missa Solemnis”, and
several programs of arias by
Bach.
Her career was nearly halted in
1957 the day after she arrived in
Italy to make her debut at the
San Carlo Opera House in Naples.
Doctors there said her heart
attack would rule out singing for
ever. Medication and exercise
have corrected a sluggish heart
muscle, and Miss Smith has since
scored some of her greatest
triumphs in Europe in operatic
roles.

Their tremendous sale of Capi

“The Lettermen’s” popularity
over the past few years. They sing
all types of music and are always

because each of the three receiv

while in college.
The group is composed of Tony
Butala, Jim Pike, and Bob En-
germann. They began singing to
gether while at Brigham Young
University, and since then have
been singing constantly both on
stage and for their own pleasure.
Tony Butala finished high school
in 1957 and attended Los Angeles
City College for two years. When
