chairman of Adelphi's Music de-partment,
will conduct.
Antfclenc Collins and William
McLocklln will appear as solo-ists.
Miss Collins, a protege of
Rosa Ponselle, has sung on tour
with Laurit/. Melchlor. Mme. Pon-selle
heard her in concert and
was so much impressed with her
voice that she invited Miss Collins
to study with her.
Mr. McLocklln. a music major
at Adelphi, has sung with the
famous Robert Shaw Chorale, and
has appeared frequently in musical
events at the College. His latest
role was in the highly successful
Opera Workshop production of La
Ifrohemo.
It is not known positively
whether Brahms wrote his Re-c|
iilf*m in inornoi'y of his mother
or of the composer Robert Schu-mann.
The piece is not a requiem
in tho sense that most are which
use the text of the requiem mass.
Brahnxs called it a German re-quiem,
perhaps to differentiate it
from the traditional Catholic mass.
As tho RoquUun is appropriate
to the Kasler season, so the work
that will precede it on the pro-gram
is peculiarly appropriate to
performance on a college campus,
Brahms sparkling Academic Over-ture.
It was composed In recog-nition
of a doctoral degree con-ferred
or. Brnhms by tho Uni-versity
of Breslau. As a basis for
the overture, the composer used
