FIRST WHITING CONCERT WILL BE GIVEN TUESDAY

Old English and French Music to Feature Opening Program of Annual Series--Whiting to Play Harpsichord

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Old English and French music will feature the program of the first of the series of five Expositions of Chamber Music to be given by Mr. Arthur Whiting in the John Knowles Paine Concert Hall of the Music Building at 8.15 o'clock on Tuesday evening, November 18.

At the concert Mr. Whiting will play the harpsichord, the key board instrument which preceded the pianoforte, so that the audience may hear the exact sound of the music as it was written by the composers in the latter part of the eighteenth century. As the harpsichord is rarely used today, Mr. Whiting's performance will be a novelty full of unique and beautiful effects, a knowledge of which is essential to a proper understanding of the old music.

Noted Soloists Will Assist

In Tuesday's concert, several noted soloists will assist Mr. Whiting in rendering the various selections on the program. Miss Loraine Wyman, a soprano, will sing a repertoire of old English and French songs. Mr. George Barrere, who plays the flute, will play several selections accompanied by Mr. Whiting at the harpsichord. The numbers which will be given include compositions by Bach, Mozart and Handel.

This is the first of a series of such concerts. There will be four others on December 10, January 21, February 18, and March 25. These expositions will be open, without charge, to all officers and students in the University. Tickets may be purchased by the public at a cost of five dollars for the course. Single tickets will cost $1.25 each. All tickets are on sale at Amee Brothers' Bookstore, 21 Brattle Street.
