Student Group to Give First Concert

The newly formed intercollegiate Symphony Orchestra, sponsored by the Harvard and Radcliffe Music Clubs and conducted by Samuel Adler 1G, will present its first concert at 8;30 p.m. tonight in Sanders Theater.

Organized by Adler during the past season, the 50-piece orchestra is made up of students from Boston University, the New England Conservatory of Music, and Harvard.

Boston Composers Featured

The program will consist of contemporary orchestral works by Boston composers. The featured work will be the first performance of Berger's "The Exiles," a cantata written in 1943. Lukas Foss, piano soloist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, will perform his piano concerto.

Tonight's performance also includes compositions by Randall Thompson '20, Alan Hovhaness, and Gardner Read. Besides Foss, soloists are Jean Harper, contralto, and Rudolph Nashan, trumpet.

A second concert is tentatively planned for later in the season.
