Violinist Nigel Kennedy
By Sherrill L. Bennett
Jam sessions are not unique to
this century. Before the advent of ra-
dio and television, people would
gather 'round the fireplace with their
wooden flutes and fiddles, cranking
out all the latest hits of Bach and
Vivaldi.
Today, Chamber music includes
not only the jam sessions of the
17th century, but all works written
for small ensembles. The Vienna
Chamber Philharmonic, under the di-
rection of Claudius Traunfellner,
will recall the spirits of those fire-
side jams this Sunday at Rackam
Auditorium, with the help of violin-
ist Nigel Kennedy.
The Chamber group, dedicated to
exploring the great literature for
string chamber orchestra, consists of
20 graduates from two leading Vien-
nese music schools: the Vienna Mu-
sic Academy and the Conservatory of

Music of Vienna. Each of the origi-
nal founders, including Maestro
Traunfellner, are still with the four-
year old group. Their youth is as in-
spiring as their progress. The group
made a tour of the Far East in 1986,
and this current season marks the
orchestra's debut in several European
countries and their first album with
Pacific Records.
Featured violinist Kennedy is one
of the few classical musicians who
can be termed "hip." Kennedy has se-
cured an unprecedented three-faceted
contract with EMI/Angel Records,
allowing him to record classical, jazz
and pop music. He has worked with
Paul McCartney, arranged works of
Duke Ellington and soloed with the
London Philharmonic. Not many
artists in history have so masterfully
juggled these separate musical
worlds in their entire careers, let
alone in their 20's. In addition to his

Rachelle Pacis, a first-year stu-
dent, chose the Air Force because
she received a full-ride scholarship
and wanted to be an aerospace engi-
neer.
"It's been pretty good... strict,
but fun," said Pacis, after going
through several weeks of the pro-
gram. But, she added, "I didn't expect
it to be as regimented as it is... like
having to run a mile-and-one-half to
get your scholarship activated."
"It's hard to come to Michigan
without financial help, and we pro-
vide a lot of it," said Gaul, who as a
unit recruiter provides scholarship
information to potential recruits.
This year 280 students received
scholarships out of a total ROTC
enrollment of 421 students. j&2

120 seasonal, worldwide perfor-
mances, Kennedy still finds time to
revisit and enlighten the Greenwich
Village jazz club scene.
Kennedy and the Vienna Chamber
Philharmonic are scheduled to per-
form Vivaldi's The Four Seasons
and Bach's Brandenberg Concerto
No. 3- both equally demanding of
the individual player and of the
group, a quality which epitomizes
the intricate yet translucent textures
of chamber music. The same quality
attracted the fire-side jammers and
still attracts these fine young musi-
cians of the Vienna Chamber Phil-
harmonic. U
Nigel Kennedy, Claudius Traunfell-
ner, and the Vienna Chamber Phil-
harmonic will be performing Sunday
afternoon, at 4 p.m. at the Rackham
Auditorium. Tickets are $10 and
$20. Call 764-2538 for more infor-
mation.
