But in recent years, there seems to be a revival of interest in classical music by college-age students. No longer do young people conceive of classical music as a senseless conglomerate of scales but rather as highly articulate music, full of subtleties and expressive melodies quite unlike the THE GREAT WALL_ RESTAURANT I I We Specialize in Cantonese * Szechuan * Hunan Cuisine I I 10% DISCOUNT (with coupon) I . .I Open every day 11:00 am - 11:00 pm I Dine in our carry out I I 1220 S.

And luckily for classical-music lovers of any age, the University has many opportunities to enjoy it. From the University Musical Society, which sponsors a number of appearances by world-renowned ensembles, to radio stations like Chocolates 3 EXCUSES FOR EATING CHOCOLATE Chocolate makes me feel sexy It's cheaper than a psychiatrist If it's good enough for Superman it's good enough for me 107 E. LIBERTY 769-7759 WUOM, students can find a plethora of classical music per - formances every month on campus. The coming 'season is packed with performances that will make even the most apathetic Classical music listener take heed. In Sep - tember, Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Mozart's Clarinet Conc - erto, Mahler's Symphony No. 5,. and various other outstanding classical pieces. Other major classical music figures such as pianist Andre Watts, the duo-pianists Katia and Marielle Labeque, and the brilliant guitarist Christopher Parkening are also scheduled to appear this year. The Leningrad State Symphony, the Vienna Choir Boys, as well as a performance by the New York City Opera National Company of Rossini's Barber of Seville will also all come to the University this year. WUOM, a public, University- owned radio station, plays music from the early Middle Ages to New Age.. The station also broadcasts live classical events and interviews with famous composers and conductors. For those who would rather perform than listen, the University School of Music offers classes and performance groups.in which non- music majors may attend and play. Admission's competition is usually tough in these classes, and it is imperative that interested students plan well in advance with the school in order to participate in these groups. wah grunge; have pushed the limits of lunacy in their paper-shredding -live performances, putting on a stage snow nearly the visual equal of the Butthole Surfers' extra- vaganzas. Other unknown soldiers of innovation and integrity run the garage-based gamut from fresh- scrubbed folk-popsters Mourning Dove to the dark and dirgy Generals to the white heat/white hate of metalcore baldies Infant Mortality Rate to the nerd-metal madness of Motorhome to the Cajun-cooked serial-murder blues of Texarkana Dreaming to the avant-garde eclecticism of God Knows What to the high school hardcore hijinks of Rodent Kontrol, who are much more renowned for their spray- painting ability than for their musical proficiency. With so many talented people willing to devote their time and energy towards blazing new trails in rock music, the future health of the local scene is positive. With a steady influx of fresh, new, creative young people, the prognosis is even stronger. The only obstacle to the continued strength of the Ann Arbor music community is participation. With the active contributions and enlightened interest of Ann Arbor's diverse population serving as the ideal prescription (along with some cooperative help from promoters and other powers-that-be), the local music scene should certainly live long and prosper.
