The festival, which runs through March 30, offers an opportunity for all types of artists to print, music, sculptors, and many other to Dr. grow closer together, according Woodbury Music took a sharp turn up this year and we had hoped for more growth in the visual arts, continued Woodbury, but we are very pleased with the expanding variety of media involved. And, through the festival, we hope to stimulate artistic production from people throughout the LDS Church, he noted. When asked what he thought would be the highlight of the festival, Woodbury replied: Im sure it will be the oratorio by Dr. Merrill Bradshaw. Here we hope to contribute to permanent Church literature. It is not often that an oratorio is written about the Mormon Church, and I think that Dr. Bradshaw has outdone himself. And because of this we have put the complete musical facilities of BYU at his disposal, he continued. The oratorio is titled The Restoration and will have three presentations during the festival. It will be heard Thursday through Saturday, March 2310, at 8 p.m. in the de Jong Concert Hall of the Harris Fine Arts Center. Dr. John R. Halhday will conduct the Oratorio Choir and Philharmonic Orchestra, assisted by the A Cappella Choir and the University Chorale. Tickets for this event are $1. Pointing to the enthusiasm generated by the festival. Dr. Woodbury pointed out that participation in the Monnon Arts Ball nearly doubled over a year ago. The ball was held in the Hams Fine Arts Center and an estimated 3,000 persons watched plays, viewed exhibits or multimedia productions, or just danced to one of several orchestras throughout the building. From the drama field, two plays opened a musical, this week at Saturdays Warrior, and the other a drama, Gideon, by Orson Card, a Book of Mormon story about Gideon and the wicked King the festival.

By simply removing their cloaks they stepped into mortality. Technkal director Thomas W.
