The Siberian Singers, under the
direction of Nicholas Vasilieff,
will present the second concert in
the series of the Alamance Con
cert Series, Monday evening, No
vember 21, at 8:15 in Whitley
Memorial Auditorium.
The Siberian Singers, a Russian
male chorus, represent a high de
gree of achievement in choir sing
ing. They have been praised by
critics and public alike for their
precision of attack, sensitive mu
sicianship, beautiful tonal blend
ing, and interpretive ability.
“Winterset” is probably the
most difficult play attempted by
this group in some years. It is
generally considered one of the
modern plays most likely to sur
vive the test of time. Other mem
bers of the Dramatic Club will be
pressed into service to help to
make the production a success.
Any students who have not had
the opportunity of joining the
Club, and who wish to help with
the presentation are urged to of
fer their services.
Arrangements about royalty
charges on this play are now be
ing made, and the fraternity hopes
to be granted permission to pro
duce the play for much less than
the usually heavy royalty on such
