Musical performances and compositions by undergraduates will dominate this year's Quincy-Holmes Arts Festival, which begins next week.
The ten-day event, sponsored by Quincy House and Holmes Hall, will include performances by a dozen classical musicians at the University, the presentation of works by three student composers, and a concert by three student jazz groups.
On Monday night Ursula Oppens '65 and Geoffrey T. Hellman '65 will take part in a demonstration class taught by pianist Leonard Shure. Afterwards, Shure, who has performed with major orchestras including the Boston Symphony, will play Beethoven's Sonata Opus 110.
At a concert Wednesday the Quincy House Music Society will perform the works of three student composers-Ronald C. Perera '63, Gerald Bennett '62-3, and Richard Wilson '63.
The jazz concert Friday will feature Gary Berger's Big Band with vocalist Liz Fillo, the Blue Notes, and the Peter Loeb Trio. It will also include a jazz ballet to Stan Kenton's arrangement of "West Side Story" danced by Ciji Ware '64 and Dean Stolber '66.
In addition to the student musicians, the Arts Festival will include a showing of experimental films Tuesday, and an illustrated lecture on art in Africa by Robert Goldwater, director of New York's Museum of Primitive Art, March 27.
