RESPONSE: The Princeton Sym- «posium on World Affairs, which last spring gained wide-spread attention as the sponser of a week- end colloquium on’¢‘The Pursuit of Excellence in the Creative Arts,’’ has this year obtained -commit- - ments from more than twenty-five expert evaluators of the nature and degree of the scientific impact — upon an industrial society. Participants in the Symposium will include; Sir Hugh Taylor, President of the Woodrow Wilson Natignal Fellowship. Foundation; Dr. Keith R, Kelson, Deputy Di- rector of the National Science Foundation; Mr. Frederick H, Os- born, a Trustee of Princeton Uni- versity and former President of° The Population Council; Mr. Den- nis Flanagan, Editor of the Scien- tific American Magazine; and Dr. Maurice Goldhaber, Director of Brookhaven National Laboratory. RESPONSE is an_ entirely student-run organization. In its four. years of. existence, RE- SPONSE has had an increasingly successful record of bringing-dis- tinguished experts into close con- tact with each other and, more important, of provoking meaningful debate among a broadly-based au- dience on some of the major issues of our time. : Society Hill’-s Local Works Try Out In One Act Festival by Margie Aronson Last Thursday evening’s per- formances at theSociety Hill Play- house in Philadelphia of two one The _relationshin,.between... the. -act-plays--written by local authors _two women is presented obliquely -= as seen through the eyes of an introspective and_ precocious young boy.

Bergman maintains that people are unable to communicate and that this ab- sence of human relationships, ‘ex- cept’ ina perverted sense, indicates that God, if there ever was a God, is dead.

This is unfortunate because the caliber of the dramas and their production merits an appreciative and large public, . These plays were read in the Playhouse’s Writers’ Project.be- fore try-out in its One Act Play Festival. MANNY is a two char- acter drama by Walter Vail with pretensions to allegory.

Found Daring and Original by Nina Farber Two works were ‘premiérte” By ' the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orches- tra in its concert last Friday. evening. The more exciting, for personal as well as musical rea- sons, was John Davison’s CON- CERTO FOR HARPSICHORD AND STRING ORCHESTRA, - Haver- ‘ford’s Mr. Davison wrote the con- © certo ‘at the request of “Bryn Mawr’s- Mme, Jambor, who per-. formed it, twice through, at the | concert, The first movement, Moderato, introduced. us to the. fresh sound of a bold, somewhat percussive and metallic harpsi- chord part against the fluid, res- . onant strings. Unfortunately there ,were times when the harpsichord could not be perceived above the orchestra, except asa faint prickle in the ear, Textural variety was the most ‘compelling quality of the first movement, which continued without a break into the second movement, an Andante. Here the spiky harpsi- chord... achieved . convincing lyri- cism, while the strings weregiven | ‘an occasional pizzicato to contrast with their normally smooth line, A brilliant and edgy cadenza led directly into the third movement, a strongly rhythmic, syncopated Vivace, Both these movements evidenced how deeply the. Baroque period, especially Bach, had inspired the composer, But Davison’s work was not derivative of any particular ‘period or composer exclusively, It was rather firmly set in the whole’ Western musical tradition, The score was often daring, but just as often comfortably familiar, without a loss in originality. Mr. Davison. must have been well’ aware of Mme. Jambor’s - extraordinary technique when he ‘wrote tite’ work: Her part aHowed---}--— her to display not only her own virtuosity, but also the gamut of otherworldly sounds a harpsichord can produce.

Six wind instruments played in counterpoint to the strings and to one another in this colorful work, Instead of concentrating-on intricacy in the melody’s varia- tions, Pepping, a contemporary, was” more concerriéd with orches- tral effects reminiscent of the late German Romantics and of Britten and Resphighi, Although the work .was pleasant to listen _ td and consistently held attention, its form as a whole was not clear, Probably we can attribute this as much to.the-score itself as to the tenden the orchestra’s execu- tion, and perhaps Dr. Reese’s conception, to be a little fuzzy. The winds deserve to be com- «mended for their strength and assurance, Mozart’s Overture to the Magic -Flute opened the program, and Beethoven’s Second Symphony ‘Closed it, The first and __ third movements of the Symphony ‘dragged somewhat, and the strings were not always together, Even fine phrasing could not quite com- pensate for dull dynamics, which showed little middle . ground be- tween piano and forte, and for string sound which lacked sheen, - The second movement, Larghetto, was comparatively well-done, and the finale, Allegro molto, was a surprising and happy ending, As if it couldn’t resist ‘the swing of Beethoven’s surging phrases, the orchestra picked up its tempo, sharpened its dynamic line, and brought the concert'to an exhilar- ating close, NEWS AGENCY “ Books Stationery _ ~ Greeting Cards © 844 Lancaster Ave. Bryn Mawr, Pa.
