The Philidor Trio
Here March 13
The Rocky Mount - Wesleyan
Performing Art Series announ
ced today that they will present
an evening of baroque music
from France and Italy as per
formed by the Philador Trio,
The program will take place on
Monday evening, March 13 at
8:15 p.m. in Everett Gymnas
ium.
In 1725, Anne Danican Phili
dor initiated the first series of
public concerts in France, the
Concerts Spirituels. In 1965,
three young musicians, then
members of the famed New York
Pro Musica, formed The Phili
dor Trio, Their objective was
to explore and bring before the
public music from the courts
and salons of ‘The Splendid Cen
tury’ for soprano, flute or re
corder, and harpsichord. Much
of this literature and many of
its composers are unfamiliar
even to dedicated enthusiasts of
baroque music, and the Trio has
had the pleasure of discover
ing many beautiful pieces that
have lain unperformed for cen
turies. Among lesser known
composers whose works they
have revived are Marais, Cam-
pra, Morin, Pepusch, and Gal-
uppi; they have done unfami
liar works by such established
masters as Francois Couper
in, Purcell, and Handel,
Members of the trio include
Elizabeth Humes, Shelly Grus-
kin, and Edward Smith,
Elizabeth Humes, soprano,
is a native of Connecticut, at
tended Skidmore College and
toured Europe with the College
Chorus as soloist. At the Hartt
College of Music she received
her Bachelor of Music magna
cum laude. In New York Miss
Humes has sung with the Ro
bert Shaw Chorale and the Ri
verside Chamber Singers,
Shelley Gruskin plays baro
que flute and recorders and is
a New Yorker, received his
Bachelor of Music from the
Eastman Schoolof Music, where
he was a flute student of Joseph
Mariano, and played two years
with the Rochester Philharmo
nic. After a season with the

Western Man students were
disturbed last week as they
learned that Dr, Allen Johnson
would not accompany the class
with Dr. Jack Teagarden on
their travel-study program to
Great Britain during May, Wes
tern Man, an inter-displinary
study of the Anglo-Saxon exper
ience taught jointly by Drs,
Johnson and Teagarden, is cur
rently in its fourth year and
has received praise from many
parents, students, and educa
tors.
Dr. Johnson made his an
nouncement early lastweek, and
he stated that he was not tra
veling with the group in order
that he could do more research
for his upcoming biography of
George Grenville. After fur
ther questioning by Western
Man students, they reported
that Dr, Johnson had received
a letter from President Collins
reminding him of the unwrit
ten agreement arrived at last
September. Dr, Collins stat
ed in the letter to Dr, John
son that after considering some
reports from last year’s trip
it had been decided that Dr,
Johnson should remain at home
during May, Most students in
Western Man stated that af
ter two conferences with the
President to ascertain the facts
they were disappointed in Dr,
Collins’ decision because 1)
they made a contract when they
signed for the Western Man
course in which it was stated
that there would be two profes
sors and 2) they felt that the
reasons given by both Dr. John
son and Dr, Collins were insuf
ficient to exclude Dr, John
son from the trip.
Though the President’s deci
sion appears to be final. Wes
tern Man students have asked
their parents to write Presi
dent Collins in protest, and
some students have suggested to
this reporter that, should Dr,
Johnson not accompany the trip,
they will withdraw from the
class at the conclusion of the
present semester.
