The University Glee Club is now directing its energies toward the production of "King David" in Symphony Hall, Sunday afternoon, April 1. The performance will be for the benefit of the Pension Fund.
The Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society, trained by Professor A. T. Davison '06, will join forces with the entire Boston Symphony Orchestra in the production of Arthur Honegger's famous work. This will mark the first appearance in Boston of an opera oratorio which has been so successful in the musical centres as to create a demand for this contemporary choral music.
The soloists who will appear with the combined clubs will be Ethyl Hayden, soprano, and Tudor Davies, tenor. The narrator, who takes a part similar to that in "Oedipus Rex" will be Paul Leyssac of Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre in New York, who was the narrator in M. Koussevirzky's production of that opera oratorio.
Although "King David" is not pronounced such a difficult work to perform as Stravinsky's "Oedipue Rex", it is nevertheless, another production worthy of the Glee Club's talent according to many critics.
