...Leon Kirchner will direct a concert of music by Stravinsky, Bach, Kirchner, and Schoenberg at 8:30 p.m. tonight at Sanders Theatre...
...N.A.R. meet, experts from NASA, the Army and the Air Force were recruited to judge such sophisticated craft as a model Gemini-Titan constructed (in a total of 300 man-hours) on a 1-to-48 scale, complete with a two-man capsule. Sixteen-year-old Albert Kirchner of Bethpage, N.Y., woomphed off a three-stage Little Joe II-Apollo test vehicle that cost him 200 hours of labor. A few pioneers are even sending aloft mice and grasshoppers, which successfully parachute back to earth at the end of the ride...
Leading up to it were two works, the Mozart Quintet in F Major, K. 168, and the Quartet No. 2 (1958), of Leon Kirchner. Whereas the Beethoven is obviously a tremendous intellectual challenge to performers, the Mozart is deceptively simple. The Guarneri Quartet, fortunately, was not deceived.

While one may argue that the music is overly simple, one must remember that this...
...Kirchner was somewhat disconcerting after the Mozart. This quartet bases its appeal on a thorough-going exploration of the tone-colors one can produce using four stringed instruments.

This was particularly evident in the first movement, and less so in the second and third. The overall performance was in every...
...Name writer (in this case Harold Taylor) has not let the Review down. "The Role of the University as a Cultural Leader" is a fine bit of noisy name-calling. The Visual Arts Center's Robert Gardner has contributed some thoughts on the visual education of undergraduates. Professor Leon Kirchner and Boston Globe music critic Michael Steinberg offer a "dialogue" that has not been well edited; it leads up to many issues but explores few. Perhaps the prize piece in the issue is "The University as an Atelier," by David Handlin '65, for Handlin alone conveys some feeling of urgency...
