THE ELEANOR KENNARD Chorale is the fruition of a dream come true for its founder, and will perform April 18 at 7:30 p.m. at East High. Chorale is a dream come true Have you ever had a dream you wished could be turned into reality by the wave of a wand? Eleanor Kennard had such adream, but she didn't wait for the appearance of her fairy godmother. Instead she enrolled at the University of Utah to work on a degree in choral conducting, and with much determination and hard work she has seen that dream turn slowly into a reality. AS A young girl, Eleanor loved music and began private piano study at the age of four and continued for 17 years. Practicing was never the chore for her that it is for many young people with a lesser commitment, and eventually this love led her to seek a degree in music. She began her studies at the University of Minnesota and later transferred to the University of Utah where she received a bachelors degree in music theory and composition. Since her marriage to Jim she has raised her family of five daughters, concurrently building her interest and ability in choral music, through directing church and civic choirs in California and Utah. Her professional training also includes private voice study and several years of choral conducting under Jay Welch. She has taught private piano lessons and is a former member of the Tabernacle Choir. Her quest for further training in choral conducting will be culminated with the awarding of a masters degree from the University of Utah in June. Kin-nar- d THE REST of the dream was realized nearly two years ago with the organization of the Eleanor Kennard Chorale in the fall of 1984, consisting of a group of singers representing several communities along the Wasatch Front.

Kennedy Center for International Studies at BYU for three weeks beginning last Friday. A THE EXHIBITION, called Through Arab Eyes," can be seen through April 18 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the conference room. The collection of 37 oils depicts subject matter from daily life in Arab countries. Kawashs art is considered to be unusual because her studies at the Manchester Art School in England reflect her western art style training but, at the same time, demonstrate definite Arab images. Traces of cubism with a juxtaposition of realistic and abstract elements are seen in her Arab works of a non-idealiz- THE EXHIBIT is sponsored by the American Arab Affairs Council it of Washington, D.C. a operation designed to better acquaint its audiences with current non-prof- in Arab-U.- activities. Among its goals is to develop appreciation for Arab culture, said Bryce Bassett, an administrative assistant at the David M. Kennedy Center. The American-Ara- b Affairs Council approached us about serving as hosts for the exhibit. We encourage this kind of event because it can increase understanding of Arab affairs among students, faculty and the university community. THIS EXHIBIT has already been seen in Ohio, Wisconsin, Alabama and Washington, D.C. with the noted baritone, Robert Peterson last spring, music of Broadway in June, and a program of Christmas music on Temple Square in December. Comments have been heard from audiences concerning the choir's obvious enjoyment in the music they are singing, and choir members themselves are quick to note their love for both the music and their director. As one member recently put it. I really dont have time for this, but the music is so wonderful and Eleanor is such a good director that I i just can't quit. This same enthusiasm is evident among each of the singers and they are quick to respond to suggestions for making each performance an exciting one. East High School in Salt Lake City is the location for their Spring Concert April 18 at 7:30 p.m. The choir will perform works of Bach, Handel and Brahms, as well as music by contemporary composer, Randall Thompson. Also included will be a section of folk songs, Negro Spirituals, and several American classics by Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein, Cole Porter and others.
