The M A S T E R P L A Y E R S O F LUGANO is a twenty-member Swiss orchestra similar in composition and style to t h e VIRTUOSI da ROMA g r o u p which was so popular with Holland audiences two y e a r s ago. Originally an A u s t r i a n Folk group known a s the Gay T y roliers w a s scheduled f o r t h i s d a t e ; however, their entire t o u r has been cancelled because of administrative p r o b l e m s i n Europe.

THE M A S T E R P L A Y E R S were a c t u a l l y t h e f i r s t choice of the Associations t a l e n t selection committee; however, their fee was prohibitive a t t h a t time. Now, because of the necessary change in dates, the concert m a n a g e m e n t h a s made their appearance possible a t a fee within the budget. Other concerts will f e a t u r e Henri Noel, baritone, on Wednesday, November 18th; Aaron Rosand, violinist, on Thursday, December 10th; M a r t h a Lipton, Metropolitan Opera soprano, Thursday, J a n u a r y 21st; W a l t e r Hautzig, pianist, on Monday, F e b r u a r y 8th; and t h e 100 member Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra on Thursday, March 3rd. All concerts will be held at 8:00 P.M. in the Holland Civic Center.

A l a r g e r v a r i e t y of soloists a p p e a r on this year's series t h a n were heard last year. This is the result of the talent ballot filed by each association member when he purchased his membership. As a result several truly great, however young, a r t i s t s were selected. Aaron Rosand, f o r example, is considered to be one of the world's most imp o r t a n t violinists whose name will replace Heifetz' within a f e w years. No single concert tickets a r e available, admission will be by membership only. Series tickets m a y be purchased a t t h e college business office f o r only $3.00. This is only $.50 a concert f o r a series which cost t h e association $10,000 to bring to Holland and Hope College.
