although the requisite Gould sparkle was never uniformly applied. Scott Joplin's The Entertainer found the ISO seeming to appreciate a change of pace, although the orchestra also caught the more vigorous dance spirit of the Scherzo of William Grant Still's Afro-American Symphony. Two local soloists were welcomed by Curry, ever the affable host. Clarinetist Marcus Eley took the solo role in Weber's Concertino In E-flat, displaying fine control of dynamics and smooth handling of the instrument's different registers in the slow portions.

The song was keyed to the intense vocal-ism of soloist Janice Mason, backed up In like spirit by a vocal trio drawn from the choir. Call Him Up provided a rousing finale to the announced program. In a choral arrangement and orchestration by Hobbs and Coe. It was hard to hear what the orchestra was doing most of the time, so overpowering were the band and the singers apart from a short descending pattern that punctuated the outpouring of voices at regular intervals.

ISO associate conductor William Henry Curry handed the baton over to Hobbs to lead the choir and band in an encore. We Shall Overcome. In this excited version, phrases of the famed civil-rights hymn were broken up and combined in slightly varied, repetitive patterns.
