When contacted regarding the pur- chase of tickets for the concert series, most residents seemed to envision a chamber orchestra as four violins and perhaps a cello playing music they would find boring. “When Maestro Liva walked on stage at Misericordia to begin the concert, no one was quite sure whether there would be more people on stage or in the audience, but a good number—over 300—did turn out. And if their applause was a real ' indication of their en- joyment of the Sinfonia’s concert, they really enjoyed it. When the orchestra. members took their final bow, it was with the accolades of the audience ringing in their ears.” Part of the orchestra’s initial success can be attributed not only to the expertise of the musicians, but also to the choice of program, according to Ferdinand Liva, musical director of the Sinfonia. Liva purposely selected a program designed to have broad audience appeal. The first half of the concert concentrated on compositions from the Baroque era while the second half of con- temporary composers. Most of the audience were pleasantly surprised, too, Liva surmised, when they saw that the Sinfonia da Camera was composed of 22 musicians, with violas, oboes, and bassoons backing up the four violins and a cello formerly envisioned by most as a ‘‘chamber or- chestra.” _ Currently, Liva is busy selecting a program for the Sinfonia’s second concert, hoping to strike that happy combination again that ap- peared to appeal to everyone. The second concert program is scheduled to be announced in the near future. Behind the scenes, members of the board of directors are “planning. on; promoting ad- ditional ticket: sales and will meet in January to complete any final details. As before, tickets will be available at the door with a special rate for students, but interested persons can save money by purchasing the ‘tickets in advance and in series. Information is available by contacting College Misericordia. Initially a musical ex- periment, the Sinfonia da Camera appears to be a musical reality, here to stay. As Back Mountain residents continue to support the fledgling orchestra, the Sinfonia da Camera will continue to represent the area, proving to Northeastern Penn- sylvania that chamber music is alive and well...and living in Dallas. 0 0 0 ( ) () <> 350 Wyorning Ave. Wyoming, Pa. 18644 AS a> ) C4 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. =X 717/693-3415 With a successful debut ~ But in planning tor the second concert to be held at Misericordia Feb. 7, organizers of the chamber orchestra have had time to reflect on their “musical experiment.” Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Mont- ross, Ruth Montross, Florence Montross, Mr. and Mrs. Al Har- disky—all of Centermoreland— attended the 50th wedding anni- versary: celebration Dee. 10 of their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Tripp, at Boulevard Methodist Church, Johnson City, NY.
