Music Society

Owing, no doubt, to the appeal of the Vic. Film Society's Wolf Trap screening on the same night, the Music Society's third concert in the music room on May 31, was sparsely attended. Maurice Quinn (recorder) displayed his usual musicianship in his performance of a work by Telemann the continuo being played by Janny McLeod (harpsichord) and the doubling bass, which gave so much added depth to the performance, was played by Susan Smith (cello). This was one of the most enjoyable items yet presented by the Music Society.

Schumann's Arabesque was given an appealing interpretation by Theodora Hill (piano) and the Brahm's Ballade, played by Jenny McLeod (piano) showed the usual vigor and energy possessed by this promising player. A work much more remote is Aaron Copland's violin sonata, the first movement of which was given by Peter Verhoeven (violin) and Warren Bourna (piano). Although the duo had a good idea of rhythm and time, the interpretation did not hang together enough for the listener to great a broad understanding of the music's style.
