Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Zu-
bin Mehta, conductor, Thursday, Oc-
tober 5, 8:30 p.m. Hill Auditorium

sity Musical Society.

ny No. 7 (2) in D minor, Op. 70.
After Thursday night's specta-
cular concert by the Israel Phil-
harmonic under their musical ad-
visor, Zubin Mehta, there can
be no doubt that this ensesmble
ranks among the finest orches-
tras in the world. I first heard
the group five yearsagomand
more recently saw their film of
Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde
at the festival of Leonard Bern-
stein films in Washington. And
although I was impressed, I had
reservations about the tone qual-
ity and matters of precision.
These reservations were swept
away Thursday in a performance
that was the finest heard so far
this season.
Mehta, who last appeared with
his other full-time orchestra, the
Los Angeles Philharmonic, has
matured greatly as a conductor
and musician, and met the de-
mands of a challenging program.
Neither the Mozart nor the
Stravinsky symphonies which
made up the first half of the pro-
gram, are familiar concert fare.
The Mozart is a curiosity in three
movements, and offers little
whistleable material. This is not
to say that is it poorly written,

for the orchestration is
color contrasts, and the
are clear, but it is not an
near the level of his later
Mehta, nevertheless, ma

mous care with the fragi
movement, during which

The world of Gilbert and Sullivan,
with alumni of D'Oyly Carte Opera
Company. Friday, Oct. 6, 8 p.m.
Power Center. Choice Series of Uni-
versity Musical Society.
Five D'Oyly Carte stars and
theireaccompanistbrought the
Gilbert and Sullivan world in all
its splendour to the Power Cen-
ter last night, and treated us to
scenes, duets, trios, and what-
have-yous from ten operettas.
What was most wonderful
about the evening was the extra-
ordinarily high level of musician-
ship evident in all. Sullivan's
music can stand on its own, and
Gilbert's lyrics can provoke
laughter even without the tunes
-with these intelligent musi-
cians, the level of charm was
multiplied a hundredfold. Ensem-
bles such as the "Madrigal" from
Mikado and the Scene from Act
two of Yeoman of the Guard,
were ample proof of Sullivan's
true genius for this stuff that
dreams are made on.
And nightmares, too, as John
Cartier showed in his tongue-
t w i s t i n g "Lord Chancellor's
Nightmare" from Iolanthe. Car-
tier's antics, appropriate to each
of the roles baritones occupy in

the Savoyard plays, kept the
amusement level high, and Don-
ald Adams, interpolating anec-
dotes and comments about his
portliness between solos from
lolanthe and Mikado, got his
share of chuckles.
The tenor, Thomas Round, won
a large hand for his rendition of
"A wandering minstrel" and in
between songs offered more
anecdotes.
The two ladies, Angela Jenkins
and Jean Temperley, had a love-
ly duet from the rarely heard
"Utopia, Ltd." Jenkins has a
beautiful high soprano voice
which she was able to show off

to good effect in "Poor wander-
ing one" from Pirates of Pen-
zance and while Temperley's
impressive vocal abilities were
displayed in "The Fairy Queen's
3Song" and "Silvered is the
Raven Hair."
Accompanist Clive Timms de-
serves a special round of ap-
plaaise; his playing kept things
going smoothly throughout; if
there were a few missed notes,
I grant him them gladly: the
music is far from easy, and his
skill and sensitivity were a bless-
ing to the show.
Good fun awaits all who attend
tonight's performance.

By MELANIE GRANFORS
After World War II, the Japa-
nese musician Suzuki taught mu-
sic to -"bring happiness to the
children of the bomb."
Today the Ann Arbor Suzuki
Institute uses his philosophy to
stimulate children to learn to
play the violin.
Under the direction of Celia
Weis,, children are helped to ex-
plore music in a relaxed and
friendly environment.
"The process is a family af-
fair," says Weiss, a University
graduate who studied with Suzu-
ki in Japan. "One parent must
attend the sessions andthe older
children are models for their
younger brothers and sisters.
Peer group association ism ex-
tremely important."
There are currently 48 children
in the program. Ages vary from
three years to junior high level.
On Saturdays parents and chil-

dren attend the environmental
class. This is a crucial part of
the experience. Older children
set the example by practicing as
a group. No one participates un-
til he is ready. If the students
are not playing violin, they can
watch the others, play with toys
or eat lunch.
"After a while everyone is
practicing," Weiss says. Thepar-
ents give encouragement by
clbpping and smiling.
The idea is to get the student to
appreciate violin music first. If
children are three or four when
they begin, they may not read mu-
sic until they are seven or eight.
"The atmosphere is free, but
not permissive,' says student as-
sistant Jim McCullough. "We're
friendly and casual. When chil-
dren lose interest, they stop.
Then it is the others who encour-
age them to go back."
4 n

The Saturday sessions are sup-
plemented by weekly private
lessons as soon as students are
ready. These range in length
from half a minute to half an
hour.
"We wait until the child asks
us for a lesson," Celia explains.
She often goes to the students'
home and lets neighborhood kids
come and watch.
Because Suzuki's method is an
ongoing process, parents must be
able to help the children at home.
Celia teaches parents during the
week. They learn basic violin
skills and explore the psychologi-
cal aspects of the program.
"Without parental co-operation
the method is a failure," she
says.
Though Celia specializes in vi-
olin, the method has been applied
to cello, piano and non-musical
fields. She stresses that the goal
is to promote motivation and in-
terest in her students, not just
skill.
As Vivaldi's A minor concerto
drifts from Saturday morning's
classroom, one realizes she is
highly successful.
