Midday Artists Become Weekly Habit From the ■first week in September up to the Thanksgiving weekend, the music department sponsored the Midday Artist Series Concerts. Most of the concerts took place in Wayne Hall or Shea Auditorium at 12:30 in the afternoon. Starting off the pro- grams was Paul Twerdowsky playing a number of classical guitar pieces. The following week, the Music Club put on a series of musical skits to wel- come the freshmen into the fold. It proved to be a very funny afternoon. The Thad Jones Mel Lewis Quintet made an appearance much to the delight of the audience on Septem- ber 18. The month was finished up by a harp recital by Kathleen Bride, a WPC music faculty member. Bride strummed the instrument nimbly and showed an appreciative audience how romantic a harp could sound. On October 2, the series spotlighted oboist Richard Foley who showed his talent with the instrument in two pieces. The second week in October brought an outdoor concert held Indoors because of inclement weather. The WPC Concert Band, conducted by William Woodward, performed a number of American composers ' music in this bicentennial concert. A large audience looked on as Joseph Nazzaretta proved his pre- cision and masterful technique on the clarinet. He played with feeling and grace producing mellow sounds with great clarity. Halloween brought the Dick Visser Guitar Trio to Shea. Vis- ser explained the pieces to the audi- ence before he played them setting up a great rapport with the crowd. November started off with the WPC Jazz Ensemble performing works by Thad Jones, Neal Heftl, and Frank Foster in front of five hundred peo- ple who responded enthusiastically to the concert. Carmencita Tozada brought her violin to Wayne Hall on November 13 to play three very complicated pieces. This talented woman showed remarkable flexibility and Intonation. She Ignored the 300 people in the audience and played as though she was making love to her violin. At the end of the perform- ance, the audience stood up and shouted their bravos, until she returned for an encore. The following week the Midday series spotlighted works by student composers. The per- formance of works by Bruce De Vlto, James Hurst, Andrew Devatells, John Carey, David Punto and Paul Henry brought loud applause from the audience filled with the compos- ers ' peers, and families. The seniors In the Music Depart- ment had their day on November 6 when their recital filled Shea Audito- rium with relatives, friends and fac- ulty members. Diane Daly and Linda DiMargo playing the flute and clari- net respectively were accompanied by Gary Kirkpatrick on piano. Daly accentuated a fine performance with clear and precise runs while DiMargo ' s clarinet came through with beautiful mellow tones. The crowd of three hundred applauded loudly for the two women ' s perform- ances.
