Violinist featured
BSO to open new season
The Beaumont Sym-
phony Orchestra, under the
direction of Dr. Joseph
Carlucci, will formally
open its 27th season on
Thursday at 8 p.m. in City
Auditorium.
This will be the first sub-
scription concert of the
1979-80 concert year and
the ninth season as con-
ductor and music director
for Dr. Carlucci, professor
of music at Lamar Univer-
sity.
Guest artist for the event
will be the young American
violinist, Elmar Olivieira,
currently riding the crest
of his success as the 1978
first prize winner in the
famous Tchaikovsky Com-
petition held in Moscow.
Oliveira’s appearance
has been made possible by
a grant from the Mobil
Foundation.
The program will feature
music of “The Three
B’s”—Bach, Beethoven
and Brahms. The concert
opens with a Prelude and
Fugue in D minor tran-
scribed for orchestra from
one of the Eight Short
Preludes and Fugues for
Organ.
The orchestra then com-
pletes the first half of the
program with the Sym-
phony No. 2 in D major of
Johannes Brahms.
The second half will be
given over to a per-
formance by Oliveira of the.
Violin Concerto in D major
by Beethoven, a work, in-
cidentally, which Oliveira
recently performed in
Dallas with the Dallas
Symphony Orchestra
during a week-long
Beethoven festival.
On July 6, 1978, Oliveira
became the first
American—in fact, the first
non-Russian—ever to win
the First Prize Gold Medal
Opera program
to feature Sills
National Public Radio’s
contemporary opera
series, -“World of Opera,”
will conclude tomorrow at 1
p.m. with one of America's
most outstanding soprano,
Beverly Sills, performing
in an opera written
especially for her.
NPR member station
KVLU-FM (91.3) will
broadcast the world
premiere of “La Loca,”
written by celebrated com-
poser Gian Carlo Menotti
as a 50th birthday present
for Sills.
Newsweek magazine
called the San Diego Opera
production “one of Beverly
Sills’ most heroic
hours...she used every
color in that prismatic
voice, every gesture in her
vast theatrical arsenal,
and every bit of energy to
invest Juana with some
semblance of spirit, dignity
and credibility.”
The role is a personal
tour-de-force for Sills, and
according to one critic,
gives listeners “a climactic
opportunity...to assess the
art of Beverly Sills.”
Menotti’s score and
libretto trace the tragic life
of Juana, the daughter of
15th-century Spain’s Fer-
dinand and Isabella.
Juana spent her last 46
years in imprisonment,
having been betrayed by
her husband, father and
son in their ruthless quest
for the crown she refused to
yield.
Calvin Simmons con-
ducts the performance with
a cast that includes
baritone John Brocheler in
the triple role of Juana’s
husband, father and son;
tenor Joseph Evans as
Juana’s faithful knight,
Miguele de Ferrara; and
bass-baritone Robert Hale
as the Bishop of Toledo.
Mezzo-soprano Susanne
Marsee sings the role of
Juana’s lady-in-waiting.
Beginning Saturday, Oct.
20, KVLU’s Saturday opera
slot will be filled by produc-
tions of the San Francisco
Opera, beginning its third
season on NPR. The roster
of major singers will in-
clude Luciano Pavarotti,
Renata Scotto and Mon-
tsarrat Caballe.
KVLU is a broadcast ser-
vice of Lamar University.

for Violin performance in
the Moscow competition
(the same competition Van
Cliburn won on piano in
1958).
Since then, he has been
scheduled for major ap-
pearances with orchestras
throughout Europe and the
United States.
In 1975, he was first prize
winner in the Naumburg
String Competition in New
York and recipient of the
Dealey-Dallas News
Award.
The New York Times has
hailed him as “clearly a
violinist of stature.”
Oliveira was born in 1950
and began performing at
age 11. His first teacher
was his brother, John, who
plays in the Houston and
Beaumont Symphony first
violin sections.
After a television debut
with the Hartford (Conn.)
Symphony in 1964, Oliveira
was chosen by Leonard
Bernstein to appear with
the New York Philhar-
monic on national
television. Now, because of
the heavy demand for his
services, he will limit his
appearances beginning
next year to major or-
chestras only.
Oliveira makes his home
in Binghamton, N.Y.,
where he combines concert
preparation with teaching
violin at the State Univer-
sity of New York.
One hundred tickets will
be available to Lamar
students upon presentation
of an ID card at the Setzer
Student Center check-
cashing window beginning
Monday, at 8:30 a. m.

tained by calling ticket

formance.
