Pages 10 and 11 have text that was cut in half during scanning.At head of title: University of Missouri--Columbia Concert Series presents"This year's festival, the third annual, is an outgrowth of events which surrounded a gala performance of Mendelssohn's oratorio, ELIJAH, in 1977. Because of the enthusiastic public response to this performance by the UMC Philharmonic and the 260-voice Festival Chorus with Otto-Werner Mueller conducting and to concerts, recitals, master classes and lectures presented by Elly Ameling, Albert Tipton, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, and the Czech Philharmonic, it was decided to establish the festival as an annual event. In 1978, guest artists included the Canadian Brass Quintet, the Pennsylvania Ballet and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Mueller returned to conduct a performance of Verdi's REQUIEM by the Festival Chorus, the UMC Philharmonic, and Veronica Tyler, soprano; Glenda Maurice, mezzo soprano; Waldie Anderson, tenor; and Gary Kendall, bass. A special feature of the festival was the inauguration of the Missouri Contemporary Music Competition. Composers from thirty states, Puerto Rico and Canada entered works in this competition for instrumental chamber music. Judges were Vincent Persichetti, Richard H ervig and Will Gay Bottje. By the end of this year's festival, over 33,000 persons will have attended events presented by faculty, students and townspeople from our University community and world-renowned guest artists. With funding provided by ten sponsoring organizations, the Chancellor's Annual Festival of Music has become a major cultural event in Missouri."--page 19Isaac Stern (Violinist), Tuesday, April 3, 8:15 p.m., Jesse Auditorium -- Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra Residency -- Children's Concert, Saint Louis Symphony Friday, April 6, 2:30 P.M., Jesse Auditorium -- Orchestra Concert, Saint Louis Symphony Friday, April 6, 8:15 P.M., Jesse Auditorium -- Master Classes Umc Music Building Saturday, April 7, 1:30 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. -- Orchestral-Choral Concert, Saint Louis Symphony And Umc Choral Union Sunday, April 8, 3:00 P.M., Jesse Auditorium -- Aaron Copland Residency -- Orchestra Concert, Umc Philharmonic Aaron Copland, Guest Conductor Tuesday, April 10, 8:15 P.M., Jesse Auditorium -- Composers' Symposium -- A Conversation With Aaron Copland Wednesday, April 11, 10:00 A.M., Fine Arts Recital Hall -- Missouri Contemporary Music Competition Concert Wednesday, April 11, 7:30 P.M., Fine Arts Recital Hal
