Outstanding Performers Are Presented In Artist Series FOR the third year since its beginning in 1959 the Artist Series has brought a well- rounded cultural program to the University of South Carolina. Five outstanding perform- ances, attended by students, faculty mem- bers, and interested Columbia citizens, were held in the Field House. JohnChappell served as general chairman of the 1961 Artist Series Committee. This year ' s concerts were opened by Lorin Hollander, a sixteen-year-old pianist. Mr. Hollander, at the time of his appearance at the University, was on his second tour of the United States. He has appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como television shows. Following the young pianist in the series was the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Henry Sopkin. The Atlanta Orchestra has toured the United States for twelve years and has become famous for its youth concerts. Also appearing were Varel and Bailly, a French Folk Song group, Carlos Montoya, world ' s greatest Flaminco Guitarist, and the Bill Thomson Duo. Up and coming organist Bill Thomson delighted USC students with an evening of modern, appealing music. 204
