BISHOPS TO OPEN NEW
SEASON NOV. 21
By Donald Crawford
"Still rusty” was how
Coach Don Scalf describ
ed the 1968-69 edition of
Wesleyan Basketball.
“We are not quite up to
par as yet on defense
and offense, and our
shooting could look some
what better. With two and
sometimes three new
faces in the starting line
up, it will take a mini
mal amount of time for
each man to learn new
methods, plus adjusting
to the abilities and in
abilities of each indivi
dual.”
When our Bishops take
the court on November 21,
at Wilmington College,
one can expect to see a
fast ball club that will
like to run. With such

In July, 1962, twelve
young musicians from the
Bern Academy of Music
traveled high into the
Swiss Alps for the Inter
national Chamber Music
Festival at Adelboden.
It was Camerata Bern
who returned to Bern that
summer, having been
born during the perform
ance and winning immedi
ate acclaim from both
the audiences and inter
national press who were
lucky enough to hear
them.
Camerata Bern owes
its existence to Profes
sor Max Rostal’s master
class at the Bernese Con
servatory. Young artists
from the furthermost
lands of Europe and A-
merica settle in Bern for
the completion of their
training with the world-
famous violinist and ped
agogue who numbers the
Amadeus Quartet a-
mongst his pupils. It
was the presence of these
artist that provided the
impulse for the establish
ment of the ensemble.
The ensemble of twelve
strings (many of whom
are leading young solo
ists in Europe) plays
without conductor under
the direction of Alexander
van Wijnkoop (naturalized
Swiss of Dutch descent
who studied in Bern with
Professors Brun and
Rostal and in New York
with Ivan Galamian. He
has won several first pri
zes and since the founda
tion of Camerata Bern
has dedicated himself to
the Camerata and the
Wijnkoop Quartet.
The repertoire of the
ensemble includes mas-
terworks of the Barogue
and Classical periods, as
well as contemporary
works, including first
performances of compo
sitions by SandorVeress
and Jurg Wyttenbach.
Tours throughout Aus
tria, France, Germany,
Italy, and Switzerland
have earned these young
players much acclaim.
Their guest soloists
have included Use von
Alpenheim (Piano), Heinz
Holliger (oboe), Enrico
Mainardi (cello), Igor
Ozim (violin), Edith Pe-
inemann (violin). Max
Rostal (violin), Jakob
Stamfu (bass).
Representing several
different countries, the
members of the Camerata
range in age from their
early to late twenties. In
October, 1967, Camerata
Bern made debuts in Aus
tralia and New Zeland
and in November their
debut in the U. S. The
