First of all, let us discuss stage ap- pearance. What is the first thing the avid concert-goer sees when he' or she enters the concert hall?iA lot of in- strumentalists dressed in black and white, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong, at least not in the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. We see the majority of in- strumentalists dressed in the customary concert colors, but we also see that small minority dressed in distracting blue, brown and gray. Now, it's obvious that the Ann Arbor Sym- phony is not the Cleveland or the Philadelphia or any other major sym- phony orchestra; but an organization that calls itself "semi-professional" should be prepared to dress the part.. ONE CANNOT fault the orchestra. in the difficulty of their selections; however, one can fault them in their execution. The first piece on the program was Beethoven's "Overture to Coriolanus." The piece begins with an alternation of a single, sustained note and staccato chords. This was where the orchestra made its first mistake. The precision of the violins was, at best, mediocre. Admittedly, it is very dif- ficult to maintain exact re ision with a plethora, (thirty-seven, to be exact) of violins; perhaps the orchestra should have eliminated some of the players or chosen a less taxing piece. The _ violinists seem to be existing in thirty- seven different tonalities, each just a hair different from that of the player next to him. It must be pointed out that this orchestra does not lack in musicality; rather, they are wanting in the areas of technique and precision. The second piece, Dvorak's "Sym- phony No. 8 in G Major," fared better. The orchestra contains a fine low brass section who showed their ability to play aggressively, without being overblown and bombastic. These horns also have a very clear, ringing sound, unlike the trumpets, whose tone is flabby. The low strings in the orchestra are the an- tithesis of the high; they move together very accurately and have only minute intonation problems. In the allegro, the recurring low string theme was very precise without losing any of its musicality or romance. The woodwinds are also a competent group. All are sensitive and play well together. Especially notably is the principal flautist, Nancy Waring, who is neither endowed with an overbearing vibrato nor undersupported. After a short intermission, the or- chestra returned with cellist Samual Mayes and violinist Angel Reyes for Brahms' "Concerto in A Minor for Violin, Cello and Orchestra." Both soloists are professors at U of M's School of Music and well deserve their distinguished, international reputations as musicians. The piece was the high point of the evening, with great technique and facility displayed by both artists. The dialogues between the soloists were very expressive and shar- ply defined. The famous 'andante movement was especially well inter- preted. Once again, the strings lacked precision and accuracy of intonation on the pizzicato sections; although as a whole, this piece was their best. Maybe the orchestra should play accom- paniments more often, because they obviously feel more secure when they are not the center of attention. Performance guide muSiC Ann Arbor New Wave Festivat-A chance to check out some of those in- triguing-sounding bands whose flyers get posted all over town-The Flexibles, Gary Pryka and the Scales, Teenage Rage, Lobsters Gorilla, among others-with headliner Ragnar Kvaran, whose intriguing talent has yet to really gel on stage. Out of two evenings there should be at least one convincing performance and a couple of surprises. Friday and Saturday, Star Bar, 109 N. Main. Call the club for details and last minute changes. Dixie Dregs-If hillbilly boogie's your bag, this band delivers it with a flourish of fusion. Southern rock that cooks like the old Allman Bros. at their jazziest, thankfully free of Charlie Daniels-ish conservatism. Power Center, Friday, 8:00 p.m. Martin Carthy-This founding member of Steeleye Span, a late, much lamented English folk-rock band in the Fairport tradition, brings his acoustic guitar and exhaustive, entertaining repertoire of traditional British music to the Ark. Sunday, 8:00 p.m. 1421 Hill. Mstislav Rostoprovitch-This Russian cellist has been heralded as "the world's greatest, perhaps the greatest ever," and his Ann Arbor recital s sure to be a thrilling display of virtuosity. Sunday, 8:30 p.m., Hill Auditorium. Koko Taylor-With a voice powerful enough to stand out in the male-dominated Chicago blues scene, KoKo was a feminist before the word was invented and if anything her last Ann Arbor appearance show proved that the spunk and fire were still there. Wednesday, 8:30 p.m., Rick's, 611 Church. P- Koko Taylor MOVIES Allegro Non Troppo-Italian animator Bruno Buzzetto's satirical bow to (and swipe at) Fantasia is, fortunately, very much its own film, with none of the grandstanding pretentiousness that spoiled the fun of Disney's noble ex- periment. This collection of cartoon fantasies inspired, by classical music pieces, linked by some fairly amusing live-action footage, is by comparison lewd and crude, in a healthy sort of way. It's also by turns technically brilliant, wildly funny, and even very touching (in the stray-cat sequence). Uneven, but well worthwhile. Friday, 7:00 and 9:00, Hutchins Hall; Satur- day, same times, Nat. Sci. Les Blanc Night-Documentary filmmaker Les Blanc will lecture, answer audience questions and show some of his short films-including quirky glimpses at fellow filmmaker Werner Herzog, the Gilro Garlic Festival, blues maestro Lightin' Hopkins, and the Mardi Gras. Sunday, Aud. A, Angell, 7:00 and 9:00. THX-1138-Six years before his Star Wars, George Lucas made his feature film debut with this very different view of the distant future. Robert Duvall stars as the sole rebel in an antiseptic underground society where all the inhabitants are kept in adrugless, joyless, unprotesting stupor. The movie sn't a cute comic-book omp, but it isn't dull, either-eerie and disorienting, it isn't quite like any other science-fiction advent.re. Friday; 9:40, Nat. Sci. Footlight Parade-For conniseurs of camp, sheer delight. Vintage girls girls-girls Busby Berkeley production numbers (this time featuring a water- fall formed out of glitzed-up beauties), did-anyone-ever-believe-this-stuff plotting (of the show-must-go-on, Gee-kids-we-made-it sort), snap from James Cagney and Joan Blondell, and ap from Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. Wednesday, 7:00 and 9:15, Lorch Hall. THEATRE Kennedy's Children-Patrick Hamilton takes a grim look backward at the 1960's. This production by the Canterbury Loft Stage Company features some promising new faces in A2 talent. At the Canterbury Loft, 332 S. State (over Music Mart). Performances at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday and a 2. p.m. matinee on Sunday. * A rwJJx CHEAP FLICKS & Sate All Seats $2.00 Every Fri I I L ATMtolkieNs AT MIDNIGHT THE WHO AT MIDNIGHT MANN THEATRES DAILY DISCOUNT MATINEES i i VILLnUL 4 All seats $2.00 'til 5:30 375 N.
