The Broward Sym- phony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Jimmy Woodle, accompanied the choir. iMr. Cole sang the tenor solos, while Rebecca Langstroth was the soprano soloist.i This term the Concert Choir elected two officers to handle the various problems which invariably arise during the term. Monica Wilson served as President and Joe Accomando served as Vice-President. Miss Irene Horzepa was accompanist. Now for a look at the other half. Mr. Ted Wheeler directed the group known as College Singers. These forty-five singers comprise the other half of the original group. The College Singers' major concert of the term was held on December 7. They performed For Us A Child is Born by Bach. A small selection O1 orchestral instruments accompanied the choir. Mr. Wheeler hopes that the choir will perform more during Term ll, after becoming more established. Miss Sarah Phillips was accompanist for College Singers. College Singers is open to any BCC student who can competently sing a part. Each student has a short audition with Mr, Cole. During auditions? he commented, I listen for voice quality, range, placement ii.e. soprano, alto, tenor, or bassi, And sight singing ability. Next term, all students will register under College Singersg after the term begins, the group will again be divided into two smaller groups. Mr. Cole expects an increase in the number of students enrolling in College Singers during Term ll. He also stated the choirs will probably perform more during Term ll. So any of you students lurking in the hall of the Fine Arts Building between eleven and twelve o'clock on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will hear the beautiful sounds of music, in stereo yet, as the singers continue to practice for Term ll's concerts.

Student Radio Show Brings College to Communi The college and the community: the two have been brought closer this term and much of the credit goes to BCC '72, the weekly radio program produced by Program Manager Bob Whalen, also a BCC student. The sound of soft rock accounts for most of the 60 minutes air time on Sunday mornings, from 10:30 to 11:30, on WSHE-FM, 103.5. The format also includes campus news and interviews with students. And too, WSHE is the only FM station playing rock music in that time slot. According to Mrs. Katherine Spanton, head of the Fladio-TV Department and faculty adviser for the program, BCC '72 is actually a revitalized version of a radio program which Whalen's brother headed two years ago while a student at BCC. After approaching Mrs. Spanton with the idea, Bob then talked with Gene Milner, manager of WSHE, who donated the time. Bob Whalen, Program Manager of MGHE, prepare weekly broadcasts of BCC activities. 5. 5 . ner, 19:2 1 . -5-- fu J ' W? 1, A if . li f' i 5 , .

Ati' Q L, E Tl-IU IA M as a iverse au ience reacts to acu ty recitals I am reminded of the old adage concerning bringing a horse to water as l consider Term I's faculty music recitals. True, the department can require that all students enrolled in music courses attend at least eight cultural events, but they cannot make the audience enjoy them. Only the performers can do that. And that is exactly what Dr. Thomas Cavendish and the Kammer Duo accomplished on two successful nights that saw the Lecture Theatre filled with SRO crowds, of both students and people outside the campus. Dr. Cavendish, director of BCC's Chamber Choir, opened the series of faculty recitals on September 24, accompanied by Byron E. Franklin at the piano. The baritone, singing in English and German in the first two sections, enchanted the audience. He completed the first half of the program with what was by far the most popular of the program, temporarily becoming Figaro to sing Largo al factorum from Rossini's The Barber of Seville. The second half of Cavendish's performance rounded out the international sampling. The French were represented by Debussy, Ravel, and Poulenc. Spanish folk songs by Manuel de Falla concluded the excellent program. Byron Franklin organ and music theory instructor at BCC appeared two weeks later with David Snively conductor of BCC s Symphonic Band on clarinet. Together they are the Kammer Duo. Again there was a capacity-plus audience on hand to enjoy the program which was on Octobe performed in New Yorks Ca Hall by the two. Composers from Brahms to Berg represented and that s quite a va There is still a mystery concern: composer of Meditation credit G. Kirkor a Russian. However is no other indication that the actually lived and in fact the R embassy denied his existance Franklin called for inform Russian composers have punishment in the past for A music that was considered western. The first half was conclud Leonard Bernstein's Sonata, st reminiscent of his West Side - score, but written well befor latter. The entire second half consi Brahms's Sonata in F Minor, contrasted not only in style b length with the very short Berg p Blending is important. When instrument plays while anoth featured and does not detract fr when the audience barely realiz w are playing, the performance success.
