April jG, 1 Harpsichordist To Present | STETSON Recital Here April 26 j CALENDAR Music lovers will have the op- ] portunity to hear a "live" harpsi-j chord recital when George Luck-; tcnberg, concert artist, appears! here Thursday, April 16 at 8 p.m. j in Elizabeth Hall. I Lucktcnberg is a member of the, faculty of the University of Chat-! tanooga's Cadek Conservatory. He, earned his Master of Music degree! at the University of Illinois and has studied at the State Academy | in Vienna, Austria. While on the' campus, he will conduct a music! clinic for music school students at 10 a.m., Thursday, in Elizabeth Hall. In an interview, Lucktenberg de- cared that a concert harpsichordist on tour must cope with problems not encountered by other instrumentalists. He has packed his nine-foot-long, 600-pound instru ment into his specially fitted truck, "the Harpsicart," for tours of over! 3,000 miles throughout the Eastern United States. "Just preparing the music isn't enough," Lucktenberg said, "youj have to be a mechanic as well." The instrument is quite sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity and must be carefully adjusted and tuned before every performance. Lucktenberg has had training in such matters, with one of Europe's great harpsichord builders and carries a complete set of precision tools for the purpose.
