by Mykhailo Bociurkiw NEW YORK - Two Ukrainian performing groups from Australia performed here on October 5 as part of a UNA-sponsored concert tour of the United States. Some 800 people came to Washing- ton lrving High School to applaud a performance of Ukrainian music, song and dance presented by the Tchaika Choir of Melbourne and the veselka Ukrainian Dancers of Sydney. Solo appearances by bass Jaroslav Liszczynskyj and baritone valery Botte, and a piano performance by Anna Krywenko also drew lively applause from the audience. The Saturday afternoon concert was the ninth in a 13-city Canada-U.S. tour that is taking the ensembles of singers and dancers across the continent.

On October 8, the two groups made a second New York City appearance at the United Nations as guests of the Australian Mission.

The Ukrainian Canadian Committee organized the groups' visit to Canada. The Tchaika choir was formed in 1945 in Germany and many of its members later emigrated to Australia. The choir resumed its activity in Mel- bourne in 1951 and today includes 35 male singers. Tchaika's repertoire at the concert included Ukrainian folk songs, as well as popular, classical and religious works. Choir members wore brightly colored Ukrainian costumes as they opened the two-hour concert in the school's ornately decorated auditorium. The purpose of the concert tour is to serve as a cultural exchange between three countries, said emcee Zina Botte in her introduction to the concert. "Our performance," she added, "represents part of the heritage which we cultivate in our adopted country. Australia."

Starts career

Franz Zaver Mozart was born in vienna in 1791 (the year of his father's demise), in vienna he benefitted from famous teachers such as Hummel and also Salieri (of "Amadeus" fame, the jealous rival of W. A. Mozart, the elder). From the first, Franz Xaver was intend– ed for a musical career as a composer- pianist and conductor. in 1804 he gave his first public concert at the age of 13. in 1807 Salieri declared his pupil to possess a rare talent for music and prophesied a career for him not inferior to that of his celebrated father.1

Twelve pairs had been registered to compete in the tourney for the Yaroslav Luchkan Memorial Trophy, but, thanks to Gloria, or Slava as the Plast members called her, the field was reduced to six paris. Other tennis players who had been planning to arrive at the resort of the Ukrainian National Association from more distant areas found themselves unable to travel because of the weather. The six duos competed in a round- robin preliminary round on Saturday, September 28, in order to determine which four teams would qualify for the semifinals and finals the next day.
