Artist Series Mark Russell, known for his comedy specials on PBS. opened the 1984-85 Artist Series on October 11th. The crowd which filled Lainade gymnasium was treated to an evening of laughs and a few humorous songs. Political humor is his stock in trade, and the Presidential campaign gave him plenty of material w!tn which to work. C-i - ' A pre-holiday concert by Mr. Jack Dan- iel ' s Original Silver Cornet Band at the Capitol Theatre was the second program in the series. Hometown Christmas fea- tured many favorite holiday songs as well as a wide variety of the type of music played by small town bands in the early 1900s. February saw cellist Boris Pergamens- chikow join the Susquehanna Valley Sym- phony Orchestra in concert at the Scottish Rite Auditorium. The internationally Known performer who was born in the Soviet I nion and emigrated to the West in 1977, also spoke at a Wednesday Li- brary Forum about the arts in his native country. Closing the Artist Series in April was a performance by the Waverly Consort, a 10-member ensemble which performed medieval. Renaissance and baroque music with strict authenticity. Even the instru- ments used were what would have been played in the middle ages. . .bove: Mark Russell greets Dr. Gary Boerckel.
