Symphonette Appears Here
In Concert On January 17
The Longines Symphonette Un
der the baton of Mishel Fiastro
will present a student concert in
Memorial Hall on January 17 at
8:00 under the auspices of the
Student Entertainment Commit
tee. These SEC sponsored concerts
are free to -students upon pre
sentation of ID cards. They are
made possible .through appro
priations from the block fee.
The Longines Symphonette
broadcasts regularly on Sunday
afternoons over the entire CBS
Network of more than 160 sta
tions, in addition to many NBC,
ABC, and Mutual stations at var
ious other times. For many years,
they have been heard five times
weekly over Radio Station WOR
in New York City.
Their specialty is the playing
of shorter selections, or 'move
ments", by the greatest compos
ers as well as many lighter pieces.
Many people refer to them as
'the average man's symphony or
chestra." Their concert here will be one
engagement of an eight-week
tour, and their first extended tour
of personal appearances away
from New York City. The tour is
a result of an insistant demand
which has finally been acknowl
edged.
Ray Anthony and his orchestra
will pay a second visit to Chapel
Hill on the Mid-winter Germans
weekend, February 22 and 23.
Highlighting the traditional
German Club activities will be
two formal dances and a Satur
day afternoon concert by trum
peter Anthony and his band. An
thony also played at last year's
Mid-winters.
Anthony, who started out' with
the late Glenn Miller Orchestra,-
plays in-the old Miller style. The
versatility of the two band leaders
is similar but Anthony does more
solo work than Miller did.
After Miller broke up His band
