S d r in which he played Paure's Ballade for piano ny e , . H - Creston lell0 loio ieethoven One of the brighter things that happened to Eastman this e y ar was John Balme, the Royal Conservatorys ex- change student to Eastman. Not letting his one and only conducting lesson get him down, john organized four impressive concerts this year. Asked to conduct the Christmas Sing by the Student Association Council, john conducted the Bach Magnificat. This was followed in March with the B Minor Mass. In I and a concert with Barry Snyder rounded out the four. Iohn did an excellent job utilizing rehearsal time and bringing clear and intelligent interpretations to these dif- ficult works. Those lucky enough to be asked to play under john were treated to one of the better musical expe- riences this year. May St. john's Passion Rf l , l This year, Eastman has had what amounted to an unofficial Bach festival. The prelude to this meal of Bach was the Christmas Sing at which the Mag- nificat was performed. The two largest COI'1C9ft5 were the B Minor Mass on March 20th and the St- l0hn Passion May 13th. The Mass was Performed by the same volunteer group that had Performed the Magnificat. The Passion was performed by the School Chorus. The series closed on Mai' 15th Wlth a concert of chamber concertos, Pl3YeCl by Barry and orchestra Opus 19, M0Zaftl5 Hllttle A Malor K 414 and fittin8lY Bach's D minor concerto.
