THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON JOE McLAUGHLIN. DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSITY RELATIONS DIRECTOR, INFORMATION SERVICES DAYTON, OHIO 45409 AREA CODE 513 229-2646 DAYTON, Ohio, March 20, 1973 --- "World's master of chamber music," Time Maga- zine exclaims. "Singly and as a group it has no superior on the world's stages," says the New York Times. "Here was superb technique utterly at the service of the music, and what music!" acclaims the London Times. All praise follows the Guarneri String Quartet, world famous American chamber musicians, who will be performing at the University of Dayton Kennedy Union Ballroom April 5, at 8:15 P.M. The appearance of the Quartet is the final event of the University's 1972-73 Arts Series Season. The Quartet, composed of Arnold Steinhardt, violin; John Dalley, violin; Michael Tree, viola; and David Soyer, cello, made its debut in 1965, and has performed throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. This year they opened the inaugural concert at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center to a standing ovation, and will perform over 100 concerts, including a European tour and 17 appearances in New York City. Each of the artists is a well-known virtuoso in his own rights; three of the four are faculty members of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. The evening program at the University of Dayton will include: Quartet in D Major, K. 499, Mozart; Q.uartet No.6, Bartok; and Quartet, "From My Life," Smetana. The Quartet will hold an afternoon workshop for area high school and college students interested in string music, at 3-5 P.M. on April 5 in the Albert Emmanuel Building in the second floor choir room. The Guarneri Quartet, along with quartets from area schools, will demonstrate in open sessions. The workshop is open to the public, free of charge. The Quartet's performance has been described as, "remarkably cohesive, well- timed .•. with clarity and force. It was a performance of sure technique, and sure emotional response," says Putnam of the Buffalo Courier-Express. "The Guarneri's tonus as an ensemble is a complete integration of luminosity of tone, probing interpretive concentration and transcendance of every technical challenge," writes Pri"ce in Rochester, New York's Last Night in Review. "One of the most impressive things about this group is the fervor and passion of the playing," Neville of the Boston Herald Traveler exclaimed, adding "There is, too, a true equality among these players ..• Such equality is as rare as it is desirable." The audiences have agreed, showing their approval and appreciation with capacity crowds, standing ovations, and cries for encores. The Q.uartet is appearing through the Arthur Judson Management Inc., of New York. .
