The Academic Chorus of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, will give its first concert in the Minnie Untermeyer Open-Air Theatre tomorrow to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the opening of the University.
The Chorus, which is under the direction of Karl Salomon, formerly of Berlin, will present Handel’s “Solomon’s Judgment”, “Carissimi’s “Jephtah”, and J. S. Bach’s Cantata 196, based on Psalm 115.
The Jerusalem Chamber Orchestra will accompany the chorus, which will be assisted by four soloists. Emil Hauser, formerly of the Budapest String Quartet, now of the Hebrew University music staff, will give several violin numbers.
