Dr. Karl Haas in a piano program "Music and Humanism"

Co-sponsored by WJCT Stereo 90

ABouT THE ARTIST ...

Dr. Karl Haas, in his radio broadcasts ofAdventures in Good Music, is heard by

millions of music lovers throughout the world. His daJy broadcasts from his New

York City studio have continued for an uninterrupted run of 37 years. The pro­

gram's networl~ comprises more than 200 cities in the U.S., more than 400 sta­

tions of the American Armed Forces Network (AFN), 30 stations of the

Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and a number of stations in Europe and

Canada as well as Mexico City.

Renowned pianist-conductor and a student of the legendary Artur Schnabel,

Dr. Karl Haas conceives, plans and hosts his show without ever using a script,

delving into his life-long experience and knowledge of music, a true and lasting

"love affair", as he readJy admits. His choice of subjects is as wide as the reper­

toire of music history. From the historical to the biographical, from the analytical

to the humorous, he has the world of music at his fingertips.

Dr. Karl Haas has twice been awarded the coveted George Foster Peabody Award and,

in 1991, received the National Endowment for the Humanities' prestigious Charles

Frankel Award. According to The Chicago Tribune, "Haas has emerged as the world's

leading point man for serious music." The fall of 1996 marked his 37th series (bi­

annual) of live Adventures in Good Music at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in

New York City, a series which is sold out by subscription, with standing room only.

Since 1995, Dr. Haas has been engaged to perform in a series entitled Music & Humanism at the Smithsonian Institutions of Washington, D.C.

CDs and cassettes, personally autographed by Dr. Haas, will be avaJable for

sale in the lobby before and after the concert, and during intermission. Three Karl

Haas albums are avaJable: The Story o/ the Bells, The Romantic Piano, and Song

and Dance. CDs are $18 each, and cassettes are $12 each. All proceeds from

these sales as well as from tonight's ticket sales go to the Classical Music

Scholarship Fund. We appreciate your support which enables talented but needy

music students to get an outstanding college education.

Hornblowers: Blowing stronger than ever ... Now in its fifth year, the Hornblowers Club is the brainchild of Larry Buchanan, immediate past chairman of the J.A.M.S. Board, the volun­teer jazz board at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.

The group num­bers about 20 members and meets the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. on the UNF Campus. Current mem­bers of the Horn blowers Club are as follows:

• Ron Katz, owner of Mobile Gas and St. Augustine Gas, has been a supporter of the UNF Jazz Program since the early '80s. His companies provide quality propane gas service and appliances for industrial, residential and commercial applications from Georgia to Palm Coast, Florida.
