Faculty violinist
joins orchestra in
evening concert
Lyndsay Knecht
Staff Writer
NT's Chamber Orchestra di-
rected by Clay Couturiaux will
perform tonight with world-
renowned violinist and faculty
member Julia Bushkova.
The concert is entitled "Mo-
zart and Schubert: Concertos
and Symphonies." Bushkova,
once a soloist with the Mos-
cow Philharmonic Society will
share the stage with beloved
students such as concertmaster
Iskandar Kamilov and violinist
Romel Fuenmayor.
"It is a delightful event/'
Bushkova said. "We finally
get to utilize ev-
ery thing we've
talked about in
class - the style
and enjoyment of
making music to-
gether, and about
active listening,
and about focused
attention."
Bushkova will
serve as the soloist
forMozarf s Violin
Concerto No. 3 in G Major. Bush-
kova expressed a reverence for
the task that wil l face her this eve-
ning. "It is a charmer - the piece is
very difficult. If s extremely deli-
cate, every voice is exposed," she
said. "AJI of it is very lyrical. In
the piece itself there is nothing to
hide behind; nothing to distract
from execution."
Mozart probably wrote the
concerto when he was 16 or 17,
Bushkova said. She described
the piece as "filled with joy and
light."
Fuenmayor, a junior from
Venezuela, joined the select en-
semble when he was only a
"Everybody needs
some musical
background to fill
that space in their
lives."
- Romel Fuenmayor
violinist
freshman. He has been a student
of Bushkova's since he was 16.
The violinist ranked her along-
side famous performers and
composers from the past.
"It is very meaningful, having
her there," Fuenmayor said. "She
is a lead to follow, an image of a
goal to achieve for any violinist."
The Chamber Orchestra will
also perform Mozarf s Sympho-
ny No. 26 and Franz Schuberf s
Symphony No. 4 in C Minor,
called "The Tragic." Fuenmayor
called the symphony "very com-
plex and very meaningful."
The piece's nickname creates
an expectation of emotion and
"makes it hard to express all
those feelings,"
Fuenmayor said.
Also a mem-
ber of the Sym-
phony Orchestra,
Fuenmayor said
conductor Cou-
turiaux exudes
"a young spirit"
as opposed to the
more seasoned
"master" Anshel
Brusilow, who
directs the larger ensemble.
"Clay Couturiaux is the other
face of the coin," Fuenmayor
said. He encouraged all students
to come and witness the lessons
of hard work and discipline he
has learned from Bushkova and
Couturiaux. "Everybody needs
some musical background to fill
that space in their lives," Fuen-
mayor added.
The concert will take place at
8 p.m. today in Winspear Hall
inside the Murchison Perform-
ing Arts Center. NT students
can attend free with a valid stu-
dent ID. To purchase tickets, call
(940) 369-7802.

Churches in Gibson's town see
'The Passion' during service
GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) — Two churches in Mel
Gibson's town held services beneath the big screen after
seeing his new movie, "The Passion of the Christ."
More than 400 members of Trinity Church and Stan-
wich Congregational Church crowded into a theater for
a Sunday afternoon screening. A small white crucifix was
set up beneath the movie screen.
"After the film there will be a time of reflection/' said
Ian Cron, Trinity's senior pastor. "It will be a chance for us
just to sit in the afterglow of the film, if you will."
Gibson, who funded, directed and co-wrote the movie,
lives in the Connecticut town.

Students' studios
open for public
Shane Gibson
Staff Writer
Tonight from 6 p.m. to
8 p.m. at Oak Street Hall,
graduate art students will
be opening their studio
doors to the NT commu-
nity.
Those who stop by will
be allowed to peek in on
the progressive work of
painters, potters, photog-
raphers and sculptors.
"One of the benefits of
seeing an artist's studio is
that you're not in the gal-
lery seeing the products,
you're seeing the process,"
said Annette Lawrence of
the art faculty.
Sugar Land graduate
student Howard Sher-
man, who describes the
drawings he will have on
display as "emotional, ex-
pressive, funny and fast,"
agrees.
"You get a completely
different take on what it is
to be an artist and make art
if you see the space the art-
ist creates in," he said.
"It's sort of like getting
a bit of a peek behind the
curtain. You get to see how
the wizard works."
Jim Burton, a Vienna,
Ga., graduate student who
will have his painting and
drawing studio open, looks
forward to welcoming visi-
tors.
"It's kind of like an open
critique," he said. "You get
a non-art perspective for
your work, which always
helps."
Burton's work deals
with the idea of disjointed
cultures and sub-cultures,
taking many of its cues
from the South.
"Previously, I've spelled
out southern phrases pho-
netically so that the viewer
has to read them aloud, so
it draws the viewer in."
"I grew up on a farm, so
it's interesting to bring that
farm-boy perspective into
the art world."
Potter Kate Fisher, Iowa
graduate student, said that
everyone can understand
her work because it is pot-
tery that is made for every-
day use.
"Everyone eats food,"
she said. "So everyone
can understand what I do.
I'm trying to make some-
thing that is both aestheti-
cally appealing, but is still
functional. Something that
serves some sort of pur-
pose."
Fisher is currently mak-
ing preparations for the
studio night.
"I cleaned my floor for
this," she said.
Garland Fielder, Austin
graduate student, says that
his work will be accessible
to anyone.
"I try to make my work
as professional as I can, so
that even if you don't know
anything about art you can
still respect and enjoy what
it is," he said.
"Anyone - your critic,
someone that doesn't know
anything about art, some-
one from Siberia - can still
get something out of it on a
visceral or playful level."
