Know what I mean? I just sat there hoping the next song would be better. No such luck. In fact, for a split second I thought it was the same song still playing. I guess thats to be expected, however, from commercial rock radio bands. How many bands have a song called King For a Day, anyway? ' Though I thought this was the best of die 1 1 songs on the album, it, too, was completely unimaginative and without much to say. Sort of your typical trying to be bluesy metal Evening Of Mozart And Bruckner the guest conductor for some of the worlds major symphony orchestras including Americas Boston Symphony, the New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Ironically, when he last came to Utah, it was also to conduct a Bruckner symphony (Symphony No, 4 with Utah Symphony in 1989). The Bruckner Symphony No. 7 is an epic work intimately linked to Richard Wagner (Bruckner devotedly admired him). It has often been said that this symphony adopted Wagners musical theories as well as his harmonic and instrumental techniques, and secured for them a permanent place in the symphonic repertoire. There will be a 15 minute preconcert lectureat7: 15 p.m. in Symphony Hall. The lecture which is open to all will give the audience a chance to become more familiar with the pieces on the ticket-holder- s, gram. Student tickets are $5 with a current student ID.

Seths vocals are, at best, no worse than by Jason Young Contributing writer I had not heard of Seth Marsh before getting ahold of his JRS record debut Whole Lotta Noise. Judging by the album, I wasnt missing anything. After reading the press release, I was kind of looking forward to giving ita listen, but I was disappointed. Its not that I hated it, but I was neither moved nor impressed by the bands sound or songwriting. It definitely suffers from that pre-packag- ed anything else in this genre. And his guitar work ... Boy, its getting increasingly challenging to think of anything to say. Thats it Typical. Typical. Typical. And boring. Tuning into Rock 103, youre more than likely to hear music (and I use the term lightly) that sounds pretty much identical to this. Listening to this gives me hope about . my own musical career. Apparendy anyone can become a rock star. Anyway, it!ll be in record stores by early next year and if you, too, need reassurance about your musical career aspirations, it couldnt hurt to pick up a copy of Whole Lotta Noise.

Patrick Stewart first did the dramatic reading in a benefit performance at the Wiltem Theatre in Los Angeles. Everyone n of Stewarts performances of A Christmas Carol have sold out since 1988. Current ticket sales indicate that Stewarts Utah debut will be no exception. This should come as no surprise. Although A Chistmas Carol has become a seasonal warhorse for communiy theaters in English speaking countries around the world and dozens of filmed versions clutter the TV during the holiday season, Patrick Stewart stirs up almost giddy excitement wherever he plays. Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation are thrilled to have an opportunity to see Stewart, who plays Enterprise Captain Jean-Lu- c Picard. Devotees of Charles Dickens, the tradition of British theater and the Enghlish one-ma- language in general are grateful to see a fine piece of literature which has frequently been abused in lesser hands, performed by a great Shakespearean actor. Patrick Stewart first came up with the idea of performing A Chirtmas Carol after picking up the book to kill time the on a set. When he finished, he was astonished by the magnificence of the writing and the effectiveness of its story. Stewart says, Dickens visually dealt with his material. He was dealing with his material in a very dramatic way. As an actor trying to do a Dickens novel, I had plenty of history to encourage me. In response to the overwhelming popu-larti- y of Mr. Stewarts performances, Simon & Schuster has announced that it will release an audio cassette recording of A Chirsmas Carol sometime this month. Patrick Stewart won an Oliver Award for his performance in "anthony and Cleopatra" and was nominated for his work in "The Merchant of Venice." In 1987, he won the London Fringe Best Actor award for his performance of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Tickets for this performance are $ 18 and $16 at Kingsbury Hall and at all Smiths Tix outlets, or call 467-599- 6 or 581-710- 0. Forum-Pag- e 7 |
