I MR. AND MRS. JOHN J. RICCARDO Meadow Brook is most fortunate to be able to call upon the enlightened cultural dedication of Thelma and John Riccardo for leadership as general chairmen of the Festival and Theatre Executive Committee. The Festival and Theatre have been joined administratively for a little more than a year and both programs have made significant strides under the hard-working, unified Executive Committee that is guided by the Riccardos. Several important staff functions are now shared by the two performing arts enterprises, including box office, public relations, group sales and a business office, which makes Meadow Brook more efficient and promotes a desirable continuity and community of spirit and purpose. Building upon last season's highly successful expansion of program format, Mr. and Mrs. Riccardo have encouraged the further enlargement of the Festival's scope to include this year two concert performances of Beethoven's "Fidelio" and a whole new series of rock and folk concerts, bringing the 1971 season to a record total of 39 musical programs. The Riccardos became general chairmen as the natural culmination of years that they have spent as ardent supporters of Meadow Brook Theatre. For the countless hours of work they volunteered in the past and for their wise and inspir• ing leadership now, Oakland University wishes to record its deep appreciation. ~cJJVd~D President, Oakland University 7 THE MEADOW BROOI( COMMITTEES MR.

  • Czech Music in Nebraska
    Czech Music in Nebraska Ceska Hudba v Nebrasce OUR COVER PICTURE The Pavlik Band of Verdigre, Nebraska, was organized in 1878 by the five Pavlik brothers: Matej, John, Albert, Charles and Vaclav. Mr. Vaclav Tomek also played in the band. (Photo courtesy of Edward S. Pavlik, Verdigre, Neraska). Editor Vladimir Kucera Co-editor DeLores Kucera Copyright 1980 by Vladimir Kucera DeLores Kucera Published 1980 Bohemians (Czechs) as a whole are extremely fond of dramatic performances. One of their sayings is “The stage is the school of life.” A very large percentage are good musicians, so that wherever even a small group lives, they are sure to have a very good band. Ruzena Rosicka They love their native music, with its pronounced and unusual rhythm especially when played by their somewhat martial bands. A Guide to the Cornhusker State Czechs—A Nation of Musicians An importantCzechoslovakian folklore is music. Song and music at all times used to accompany man from the cradle to the grave and were a necessary accompaniment of all important family events. The most popular of the musical instruments were bagpipes, usually with violin, clarinet and cembalo accompaniment. Typical for pastoral soloist music were different types of fifes and horns, the latter often monstrous contraptions, several feet long. Traditional folk music has been at present superseded by modern forms, but old rural musical instruments and popular tunes have been revived in amateur groups of folklore music or during folklore festivals. ZLATE CESKE VZPOMINKY GOLDEN CZECH MEMORIES There is an old proverb which says that every Czech is born, not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a violin under his pillow.

Lalo gained considerable reputation in both Germany and France, though his dramatic work received but tardy recognition.
