Some of the featured poets, including Eugene B. Redmond, Darlene Roy and Brian Taylor, will read from their works at 6 p.m. Jan. 24 during the exhibit's open- ing, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit, coordinated by the University's International Writers Center and the Bi-State Development Agency's Arts in Transit program, capitalizes on the increasingly popular idea of placing poems on placards in buses and subway cars. These stanzas, often accompanied by artists' works, give the hurried traveler something to ponder besides advertise- ments for cigarettes or back pain relief. This Robert S.

Washington University Record / Jan. 18, 1996 5 'Stage Left' presents classical accordion virtuoso Guy Klucevsek Be prepared to forget everything you know about the accordion as rebel squeeze box virtuoso Guy Klucevsek ventures beyond the polka fringe to present an array of original folk- inspired and new classical music at 8 p.m. Jan. 27 and 7 p.m. Jan. 28 in the Drama Studio, Room 208 Mallinckrodt Center. Klucevsek sold out both of his solo performances as part of the 1992 Edison Theatre "Stage Left" series. His return performance also is part of the "Stage Left" series. Klucevsek, who began playing the accordion at age 5, has spent the last 40 years exploding all myths about the instrument's limitations. He has broken new ground for polka standards while proving that the free bass accordion can add new sensitivity to complex classical and improvised music. His solo perfor- mances include the Berlin Jazz Festival, New Music America, Serious Fun! at Lincoln Center, and the children's TV show "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." "A remarkable performer on a remark- able instrument," wrote a reviewer for The Village Voice. "Klucevsek writes the Installing one of the placards for the "MetroLines: Transit Poetry From Around the World" exhibit, which opens Wednesday, world's most abnormal 'normal' music ...
