The holes, he explains, act like tiny megaphones and dramatically expand the quantity and quality of, making a $200 dollar in strument sound like one that costs 11500. In the course of two years, the Starker Bridge has gained wide-si»'ead acceptance, particularly among players vdio cannot afford highi>riced in struments. It is described by Time magazine as perhaps “the most s^nificant tonal innovation in string instruments in 300 years.” Probably the most recorded cellist performing today. Starker’s innumerable records (Angel, Deutsche Grammoidion, London Mercury, Decca, Phillips, and Period labels) in clude no less than three per formances of the complete ^di Suites for Unaccompanied OeUo. One recent recording (for First Edition) is the CeUo Concerto by Peter Mennin wWch Starker played with the Louisville Or- diestra. Summing up his artistic con cept in a revealing definition, Starker says: “The basis of my style is discipline. I feel a [Tofessional always must be able to perform at 85 percent of his capacity on any given night. The remaining 15 percent should be a matter of inspiration.” Asked vrtiat he would judge his average score to be, he gave an even more revealing reply: “Never below 75 percent, and usually ^tween 85 and 90.” This combination of discipline and inspiration ac counts for ^at the Chicago Daily News termed “the fascinating mixture of fire and ice in his playing.” Clifford Young- Roger Hall Requests Relief Roger Hall, President of the North Carolina School of the Arts Foundation, has requested to be relieved of his additional duties as Executive Director of the School. In making the an nouncement, Robert Ward, President of the School, said that Hall wanted to devote his full time and energies to the work of the Foundation. Sharply increased scholarship and financial aid needs, along with the greater demands for enrichment of the School’s educational program during the past year, have placed a greater burden than ever on the Foun dation. In addition, the School is moving into a new period of expansion of its physical facilities. The major renovation and new buUdings involved will require enlarged fiuid raising activities. In a statement released today. Ward said, “I am optimistic that Mr. Hall’s success to date in enlisting new support for the School will continue, despite the difficulties that beset ^ fund raising efforts at present.” The Public Relations Office and the Attractions Bureau which have worked under Hall will now function under the Ad ministrative Director, Martin Sokoloff.
