CONCERT SERIES
WILL OPEN OCT. 6
Opera star Lilly Windsor will
appear at Hardin-Simmons Univer-
sity Oct. 6 in Behrens Chapel.
The American soprano hailed as
a modern Cinderella of music
will present a six-group program.
At the age of 24 she became the
first American in 30 years to be
contracted for the Rome Opera

At H-SU her first musical group
will consist of Mozart's works and
will include "Alleluja" which has
been one of Miss Windsor's favor-
ite arias.
Group two will constitute a song
cycle from Schumann group three
will be by Verdi and group four
will be a combination of Poulenc
Faure and Debussy. Donizetti
makes up group five and Strauss
and Gershwin complete the con-
cert with group six.
Here and Abroad
Miss Windsor has appeared in
Rome Amsterdam and in New
York Washington Chicago Dal-
las and many other major cities
in the United States.
In her European debut in Ams-
terdam Miss Windsor had been
warned that Dutch audiences were
a bit reticent applauding after
i each group rather than each work.
When she finished her first song
Mozart's "Alleluia" and was in
the process of giving her accom-
panist cue for the next number
suddenly the audience broke into
wild applause. At the end of the
program the audience stood up
and cheered.
Rome Debut
During her Rome debut in 1948
she was compelled to sing five
performances of "Faust" to capa-
city houses instead of three as
originally scheduled and she was
immediately reengaged for the fol-
lowing season.
Tickets for he Hardin-Simmons
concert will range from $1.20
( j through $3.00 tax included. Stu-
'7 dents will bo admitted on the
presentation of activity tickets.
