Kaufman-Cohen Rites
Set for February

Detroit Audience Surrenders to a Young Corps of Israelis

An army of 86 teen - agers
marched into the Masonic Temple
this weekend and captured an au-
dience of 3,500.
It couldn't have been a surprise
takeover — for captives or for
captors. Indeed, the string of vic-
tories already rolled up in this
country by the Israel National
Youth Symphony has established
a formidable reputation in the
music world.
As the Gadna orchestra swept

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, it
took a mental pinch on the arm
to recall that the players are all

under age 22. On the other hand,
the swagger with which they
marched trough the third move-
ment had the vitality that has come
to characterize Israel's youth.

It was obvious, observing Ronly-
Riklis' baton technique, why the
14-year-old youth corps symphony
has won first place in two interna-
tional competitions.
For the first selection, the over-
ture to Mendelssohn's "The He-
brides," Ronly-Riklis directed his
orchestra with such economy of
movement that at times he hardly
moved. Each command was more
like an "if-you-please-would-you-
be-so-kind-as-to . . ." But, like any
well-trained army, they followed
his every whim. The result was

brightly hued, brilliant.
Still, Ronly-Riklis could be
whipped into action—if the num-
ber of times his hand brushed
back his hair is any indication.
Without a doubt, the conductor's
direction of the Beethoven and
Stravinsky works rated the five
"curtain calls" bestowed on him
by the audience.
