Public Events Concert: Chanticleer, Friday, March 7, 8 p.m., Herrick Chapel
The 12-voice, all male ensemble Chanticleer sang to a packed Herrick chapel three years ago. This Friday they will return to Grinnell to perform an eclectic program of Renaissance and gospel songs, folk songs from around the world and venturesome new music. This is the fourth of five concerts sponsored this year by the Public Events Committee.
"These singers bring precision, musicality and expressive conviction to everything they sing," says a Chicago critic of Chanticleer. Taking its name from the clear-singing rooster in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the group was founded in 1978 by tenor and current artistic director Louis Botto, and made its debut in San Francisco's Mission Delores. Since then they have appeared regularly in venues across the United States and abroad. Audiences have responded so well to Chanticleer that repeat engagements are not uncommon. This season, they have been invited back to Japan, Germany, and Singapore.
Last summer the ensemble debuted with the New York Philharmonic in a series of city-wide parks concerts, singing music from the group's most recent recording, Lost in the Stars . Other releases include Mysteria: Gregorian Chants and Where the Sun Will Never Go Down: Spirituals and Traditional Gospel Music.

CULTURAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Acclaimed Classical Pianist Byron Janis to Perform
In a rare Iowa performance, acclaimed classical pianist Byron Janis will present a concert of Chopin's music at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, in Herrick Chapel. Janis is renowned internationally as one of the world's greatest concert pianists. At age 16, he studied with Vladimir Horowitz after Horowitz attended Janis' recital.
Byron Janis has made a remarkable comeback, with his first recording in 34 years. His Byron Janis Plays Chopin was recorded at the American Institute of Arts and Letters in Manhattan and is available from EMI Classics. For the recording, Janis played to an audience of 80, including Andrew Bory, the great-grandson of Chopin's sister Louise.
"Though he's performed, pianist Byron Janis didn't record for 30 years because of arthritic hands. But the new 'Byron Janis Plays Chopin' shows he hasn't lost the poetic precision that complements this bittersweet music. In re-imagining the terminally familiar Waltz in G-flat Major , he makes the brisk opening strain a springy folk dance; the tender second strain winds down like a music box and just about breaks your heart," writes a reviewer in Newsweek.
Janis was diagnosed with arthritis in both hands in 1973. Despite intense pain and the crippling effects of arthritis, Janis continues to perform. In 1985, he gave a performance at the White House and announced his role as spokesman for the Arthritis Foundation. As a national ambassador for the foundation, Janis speaks on behalf of the millions of people who have arthritis. He has participated in several benefit concerts.
Cultural Film Series, Rendezvous in Paris, March 7-9
Rendezvious in Paris, France / 1994, Written and Directed by Eric Rohmer. Shown in ARH 302 Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday, 2 p.m.
Rohmer, one of France's most respected directors, is 75 years old, but his vision is that of someone less than half his age. He writes for young characters better than most twenty-something screenwriters, yet the thoughts and ideas presented in his films are valid for all ages. His 27 feature films have been described as "feather-light but ocean-deep confec tions."
Rohmer's latest film, Rendezvous in Paris is a trilogy of short stories about people in love, pretending to be in love, and wishing they were in love. Paris functions both as a backdrop and an integral, seductive aspect of contemporary relationships. Made on a shoestring budget, Rendezvous in Paris offers a charming look at the city and some of its haplessly over-articulate denizens.
Dah-Dah-Dah-Daaahh

In the early Seventies Bob Dylan and Neil Young appeared live at Grinnell with their band The Youngbloods. Darby gym was full to overflowing.
