Malcolm Holmes will conduct the Wellesley College Orchestra in a concert at Paine Hall tonight. The program consists of rarely played music dating from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries and opens with Studentenmusik Suite No. 2 by Johann Rosemuller (1620-1634). Also to be heard are Bach's Concerto for two violins in D minor; Gluck's Sinfonia to the ballet-pantomime, "Don Juan"; Bach's Cantata No. 202, "Weichet nur, betruebte Schatten"; Two Instrumental Pieces by King Henry VIII; and Gretry's Overture to "Le Rival Confident." The music is certainly unusually interesting and gives further proof...
...industrial scientific or engineering laboratory devoted to the study and development of products and manufacturing processes offers the greatest number of opportunities for research scientists. Here again the doctorate is the usual ticket of admission, but the master's degree and even the bach- olor's degree command some attention, provided the man's scholastic record is one of particular excellence...
...audience grew dreamy over Sasha's singing, sensuous delivery of the Franck sonata. More cold-blooded listeners felt that here Culbertson lacked clarity, tended to lose himself in lyric effects. As always he did best with Bach, made every variation in the Chaconne marvelously clear and incisive. Sensing that Sasha Culbertson was nervous over his second debut, critics deferred judgment.

Though both Culbertsons were born in Eastern Europe, they are Sons of the American...
...dark little man with a Russian face and an American name began to fiddle his way into the big money. Critics on two continents praised young Alexander ("Sasha") Culbertson for his silky tones, liked him best in Bach. But Sasha was not satisfied with himself. In 1926 he canceled 31 U. S. engagements, broke a contract to make phonograph records, sailed for Europe. In Paris he settled down with his bride of two years to study all over again. There and in Berlin he worked hard, eked out a meager living from music lessons. Last week he walked timidly onto...
...blazing, polyphonic Firebird and the riotous Petrouchka. The harsh, neolithic percussions of Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps were less welcome, made first-nighters in Paris hiss and jeer. Stravinsky unconcernedly went his way. Suddenly he announced he was through with picture-music and would "return to Bach." His style grew clearer, if more austere, showed in every bar an uncanny knowledge of each instrument's value. Emotional people, who like music to conjure pictures for them, protested that he was incomprehensible. Stravinsky replied that he was "objective...
