Differences in who people are in terms of religion, race, or other factors of their births, dwarf the common good that can be gained by their contributions to us all as members of a world community." Not only will the Utah Philharmonia present the very first performance of "Hideaway-Variation- s for Anne Frank," but it also may become a part of history. "We will send a recording of this world premiere to the Archives of the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam along with Angell's music," Debbaut said. Also included in the program will be several other interesting works which include the "Hungarian March" by French composer Hector Berlioz. Assistant conductor, James Caswell will lead the orchestra in the "Overture to Prince Igor," by Alexander Borodin, a Russian composer. Another Russian composer on the program is Alexander Glazounov, with his "Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra," featuring William Hosack as the soloist Gene Pack will narrate The Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra," by English composer Benjamin Britten. The Utah Philharmonia Concert will be held this Sunday at 3 p.m. in David Gardener Hall Room 200. Tickets are $$ for general admission and $3 for students. Jr All in the Timing, by David Ives, is intelligently hilarious. Made up of six sketches addressing everything from her roles wonderfully, most notably as Mrs. Trotsky. Kim Weiss was at his best playing a mild- - mannered con man. Finally, Michelle Peterson was memorable in her role as Dawn, a shy but happy woman who longs for universal understanding. Adele Mattern designed the very appropriate costumes, from the chic attire of the filmmaker to the clothing of the. chimpanzees. The play is showing in the downstairs theater, which is prone to changing sets quickly and effectively, despite the pillar at the front comer of the stage. Kevin Myhre designed the sets, providing all of the necessary accouter-ment- s for each piece (ut. typewrit-- ; ers). Leo Geter was the video designer for the several sketches which used television sets for a weak Brechtian simple coincidence to Trotsky, this play is a must-se- e for comedy lovers. Ives' script is, simply, great The first piece, "Sure Thing," features a man picking up a woman. Every time he makes a mistake, a timer dings and he gets to start over. Eventually, he is successful, and they both marvel how it's "all in the timing." All in the timer, maybe. Another sketch "Words, Words, Words" is about three chimps held in a chamber with typewriters by a who theorizes that one of them will eventually write Shakespeare. They all do, but none recognize it One of the chimps proclaims, "He hath made me mad" Full of creative humor and inventive language, each sketch is intensely funny.
