Bennett Consort to present Christmas program
'Each person is one, their own part,
and you strive toward being one,' said
Cina Cutruzzula, a singer in the Bennett
Consort which will perform free Satur¬
day at 8 p.m. in the Music Building reci¬
tal hall.
The group is made up of eight musi¬
cians who perform together for 'the joy
of making music together,' said Dr. Bob
Bennett, director. It is made up of indivi¬
duals who play the piano, harpsichord,
flute, guitar and singers.
The Consort is a small group of musi¬
cians who perform in various combina¬
tions of ensembles and as soloists. Ben.
nett, for whom the Consort is named,
said he has wanted to get a group like
this together ever since he was a teen-
"I 've been very active performing and
conducting and there were always other
things to do. (Now) the time seemed to
be ripe for the participants (and for
me),' he said.
Bennett, who is a piano instructor,
does not perform in the group but sees
his role as a director. He said he wanted
to give a student pianist the opportunity
to play with musicians at the student age
level.
The group, made up of CSUF students
and former students, was hand picked by
Bennett and they gave their first perfor¬
mance last Spring. They wanted to do a
Christmas show, so Bennett brought to¬
gether a program with unique and differ¬
ent songs and styles.
Terrie Anderson is a performance ma¬
jor and plays the piano and harpsichord
in the group.
'I like the intimacy of a small group -
it's more flexible. Travel is easier...
Everyone is professional. You don't
have to hold anyone's hand. It's a very
growing   experience   musically,"    she
She said music has been a part of her
life from the beginning. While young,
she did a lot of different types of per¬
forming, such as ballet, piano and violin.
Then, she said she wanted to be good at
something and chose the piano.
"It's like my own world. When I play
something, it is an extension of myself,
real  personal,   intimate  thing.
Something very special,' she said.
Cutruzzula got into singing after be¬
ginning a dental assisting major at Reed-
ley College. She was encouraged to take
voice classes at CSUF and decided to do
Music to her is 'expressing how you
feel - interpretation (of the musk). It
comes easy if I just let go. Let go of me
artrj.relate what the text is saying,' she
said.
-Michael Barba, a baritone in the group
said, 'The neat thing is that he (Bennett)
picked people who were all good friends.
Consequently, the experiences brought
us closer together,* he said.
The singing profession is very compe¬
titive and Barba said a person usually
does not start into it on a big scale until
an age around 30. He said, though, that
during the 'waiting' period, a singer
keeps studying and learning and the
more of life he or she experiences brings
that much more into the performance.
'You've got to want it very badly in
order to succeed. It's a real chancy busi¬
ness to get into. It's a lot of work and
it's frustrating. But in the long run, it's
what I want to do,' he said.

Avenger review con't
n_p__yrat_i_,i
From Page 2
The writers are perplexed by the
Avenger, played by Dan Carrion, a com¬
plex man who seems to be living proof
of the adage having to do with people
getting the government they deserve.
He has given the people exactly what
they want at the cost of most of their
basic rights.
He admits he is a liar and is quick to
point out that, as such, he is a true
representative of the American people.
Robert Kemf portrays Bear Ledbetter,
a football coach turned senator turned
vice-president, and plays his role to
the hilt.
He is half senile, though dearly as
sane as anyone at the White House, and
spouts original Americanisms which
would make great bumper stickers:
'Boys, it's fourth quarter and America
better damn well get some points on
I think he's going to burst Into songl* ^ir
*Ye_», and here are the words,' as the t
singer passes out the lyrics to his fellow      f
Everyone must atone time or another
deal with the person that really runs the
country - the president's appointments
secretary, Sally Sjrathouse, domineer¬
ingly portrayed by Kathleen McKinley.
The play is peppered with musical
numbers reflecting a wide variety of
- sical styles. Including a disco number
iated by, coincidentalry, the most
brainless character in the  cast.   The
transitiofi from the acting to the singing
is no less comical than the songs, with
characters  giving  the audience cues:
——————————,
TO THE Italian Medallion on Aspen ,'
2nd: To me, Mary Lou, You never]
can be old, For as you were when ■
i first I saw you Such seems your {
i beauty still. \
The first act is full of subtle humor
which, unfortunately, seems to dis¬
appear as the second act progresses.
The comedy then relies on a great deal
of visual foolery which drags in parts
but receives grer     J1
the   whole.   A    ._..___.
develops between Sheron and Strat-
house, which may be useful in ending
the play but which seems otherwise
purposeless. There is some unnecessary
crudity in the first act.
Phillip Douglas Is effective as Mostra-
kan, the ruthless head of White House
security who has a tendency to overreact
in particular situations, resulting In
critics of the president being thrown
through windows.
Diane Thorson and Monica Silveria
play the page girls, Marta and Eve.
The play, on the whole, is well worth
experiencing. It is mure a reflection of
our own attitudes than the quality of
our politicians and suggests some fright¬
ening questions revolving around the
meaning of freedom, whether we really
want freedom at all, and whether our
leaders should leader give us what we
want.
But for those who choose to ignore
the meat of this comedy^ Is still good
entertainment.
