MUSIC IN AIR give students an display talents Let us suppose that we have gathered in a great room four of Duke University ' s outstanding musical organizations, where we can find out what makes them tick and a httle of what they ac- complished this past year. The first corner is full of many weird and wonderful noises, for here is the Concert Band, composed of extroverts with strong eardrums among the student musicians. Al- though forced into retirement by the marching band during the foot- ball season, the rest of the year they blast forth in all their glory under the direction of Mr. Paul Bryan in lawn concerts, a formal concert, and a Sunday night sing. A rather unusual sound is com- ing from the next corner, where, giving vent to their creative urge in a strong vocal manner, the members of the Madrigal Chorus are located. They sing, not to please any audience, not for ap- plause or praise, but rather be- cause they enjoy singing, and quite frankly don ' t care whether you like what they sing or not. 27

Bas- STUDENT MUSICIANS HAVE FUN WHILE ACQUIRING EXPERIENCE DUKE ' S FIFTY - SEVEN PIECE In the third corner we see the Duke Symphony Orchestra, a top- flight symphonic group which af- fords the students and facuhy an opportunity to saw or blow away to their heart ' s content. This year their schedule was so full with four concerts that the conductor, Allan H. Bone, had to increase rehearsals from once to twice a week. The trend towards reliance more on student than faculty talent is represented by the fact that this year the concertmaster was a student, William Zerby, who also doubled as concertmaster of the Chamber Orchestra. This sedate orchestra, located in the last corner, contains the best and only the best of the string players from the Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Bone, as if he weren ' t already busy enough, con- ducts this orchestra, too. Here superior players may congregate to display their virtuoso abilities. Word spread this year how good they really are, with the result that late-comers to their January and May concerts had to be expert wall climbers to find room. Pur all these people together and they make quite a din, but every- body ' s happy, including the au- diences that hear these talented groups perform in their individual concerts. 28
