gradually gained national atten-

placed under the direction of a
concert manager.
Now a professional touring un-

liamson, founder of the choir and
the college, and president of the

the group has appeared through-
out the United States and Can-
ada and in England, Scotland,
Austria, Norway, Jugoslavia, Rus-
sia, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary.
In its wide repertory are com-
positions ranging from the early
Italian masters through folk tunes,
Indian and cowboy songs, spirit-
uals and hymns to modern works
by Gershwin, Roy Harris, Samuel
Barber, Jerome Kern and Serge
Prokofieff.
The program Monday night will
include compositions by da Pale-
strina, Bach, MacDowell, Sibeli-
us, di Lasso, Brahms, Liszt, Deli-
us, Nicolau and Handel, as well
as groups of folk songs of Eng-
land and America, including sev-
eral Negro spirituals.

fice of the University Musical So-
ciety in Burton Tower.
