and Chorus R s X SESS is QQEKYQS ix tif'Sifg1'l'-- ' FNEI- ' f 5 ..:. t ' Under the baton of Keith Moon, the University Wind Symphony offered three concerts this year. Combined with the NSU Chorus, the group gave concerts on November 12 and April 6. Their first season closed with what is perhaps the most remarkable con- cert given at NSU, on May 19 they performed Aaron Copland's A Lincoln Portrait with George Mazzara narrating The highlight of the afternoon, however, was a brilliant performance by the Percussion Ensemble of Carlos Chavez's Toccata for Percussion Instruments, this will long be the standard to gauge other concerts by. Besides the two combined concerts, Mr. Peterson's Chorus offered a con- cert of Christmas Vespers on December 10 featuring Beniamin Britten's A Cere- mony of Carols. The singers' year ended on May 26 with a performance of Lukas Foss's A Parable of Death, Dr. Paul Harris narrating and Edgar Harris as tenor soloist. 177
