Captain Smirk and the rest of the crew will have their hands full, facing their toughest enemy to date. Is it the Evil Ghan who has come back to make Smirk feel his wrath? Is it the cyborg Earnest Borg-- 9 trying the avenge the deaths of his brothers Victor and Bjorn Borg? Is is a strange space probe that has traveled millions of light years to destroy the earth?

Symphony to perform concert of 20th century music masterpieces Utah Symphony Associate Conductor Robert Henderson will con-- . duct the orchestra in a concert featuring 20th century composers Sergei Prokofiev and Gustav Mahler on Feb. 2 and 3 in Abravanel Hall. The concert will consist of two woks, Prokofievs Symphony No. 1 in D major, Classical Symphony, and Mahlers Symphony No. 9inD major. In its years with Music Director Maurice Abravanel, the Utah Symphony built a national reputation on its performances of Mahlers symphonies. Composed in the time period from Mahlers Symphony No. 9 was written during a time of great torment. In the previous year, 1907, Mahler had suffered both professional and personal tragedies. First, he severed his stormy association with the Vienna Opera after a decades work. Later that year, doctors diagnosed a serious heart concomdition, forcing the mortaliown confront to his poser ty. Already shaken in his career and physical health, his life was shat- 1906-191- 0, tered by the sudden death of his daughter. In addition, four-year-o- he was wary and superstitious about completing his Ninth Symphony: many composers who came before Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner, and Dvorak had all died without getting past that number. Indeed, Symphony No. 9 debuted following his death in 1911, and the music seems to embody a personal farewell. In contract, Prokofievs Symphony No. 1 in D major was written when he was a young man, and the orchestral colors come through more clearly. The short, energetic work ranks as one of Prokofievs most successful works, and the finale calls for remarkable agility and precise ensemble from the players. The concerts begin at 8 p.m. in Abravanehl Hall. A discussion is set for 7:15 p.m. Tickets range from Student tickets, if available, are $6 and go on sale the Monday prior to the concerts.
