"Did Salieri really do it?"
This question, among others,
will be answered by Amadeus him-
self, complete with high-pitched,
Tom Hulce-like laugh, at the 1992
Michigan Mozart Piano Compe-
tition. Sponsored by Wilfried R.
Hildebrandt and Ford Motor Com-
pany, the event is capping off the
200th anniversary of Mozart's
death, where thirteen School of Mu-
sic pianists will perform several of
Mozart's complete works.
Primarily, Hildebrandt wanted
to continue the celebration of Mo-
zart's music that has been going on
world-wide for the past year. "I
like his music, and this competition
is different - Mozart with a twist
- since he will appear," said
Hildebrandt.
Indeed, Wolfgang will be there
to present the prizes and congra-
tulate the winners. lie also will
talk about "controversial issues,
like grand versus forte piano,"
Hildebrandt said.
A former pianist himself,
Hildebrandt was a University stu-
dent on a three-year wrestling
scholarship. He worked under Cliff
Keen, who himself had spent 45

The New York Times Magazine
said, "Everywhere he looks, he sees
the high and haughty giving short
shrift to the humble America, and
John Mellencamp is in a slow
burn." Yup. That's why his
Midwestern tinged music is so
powerful. Though Mellencamp is
aging at a rapid rate, his real rebel
rocker stance has never faded. He is
on the road for the first time since
going on hiatus to be a painter.
Mellencamp's live show is as grip-
ping as his persona and a must-see
concert experience. He plays tonight
and tomorrow at the Palace of
Auburn Hills. Tickets are $25 and
available for both nights at
TicketMaster. Call 763-TKTS.

Pablo Picasso once said, "Painting
is stronger than I," but not many
artists have had more influence on
our perception of art than Picasso. A
grand representation of his strength
arrives at the University Museum
of Art in the show Picasso and
Gris: Loans from the Carey Walker
Foundation. The exhibit covers
M~iore than four decades of the
artist's work
The display features ten colorful
Picasso oils ranging from the ideal-
istic "Seated Nude" (1922), to the
linear "Bullfight" (1934) and the
multi-stylistic "The Artist"
(1963). Also on loan is a collection
of Spanish paintings which features
a work entitled "Seated Harlequin"
(1923) by Picasso compatriot, Juan
Gris.,
Several events it the Museum
will highlight the opening of Pi-
casso and Gris, including a lecture
to be delivered by museum director
William Hennessey. He will dis-
cuss how our views of art have been
drastically changed by the lives and
work of these revolutionary Spanish
artists.
Also scheduled is an interdisci-
plinary evening program, A n
Evening with Pablo and His Friends,
which will feature dance, music, art
and drama influenced by Picasso and
his colleagues. Jessica Fogel and Gay
Delanghe of the University's Dance
Department will perform dances in-
spired by Picasso's Reclining Nude
(1934) and Two Girls Reading
(1934).
Francoise Gilot is a solo dance
created by Fogel. In it she will re-
flect her own studies of Francoise
Gilot, painter and mistress to Pi-
casso for ten years. The dance is set
to the music of Erik Satie, also of
the Dance Department.
To weave the evening together,
texts of Jean Cocteau, Guillame
Apollinaire, Max Jacob, and Picasso
himself will be read by Leigh
Woods of the University's Depart-
ment of Theater and Drama. A re-
ception with wine, sherry and tapas
(Spanish hors d'oevres) will
follow the performance.
The celebration of Picasso and
Gris:. Loans from the Carey Walker
Foundation will continue at the
Museum. Paintings will be on view
and more events will be presented
over the next three years.
