Program.  "We are pleased to share Augustana's commitment to excellence in
the arts."
     The curriculum includes band, orchestra and choir; musicianship and
music history classes; optional ensembles of handbells, jazz band,
historical instruments and chapel choir; enrichment courses in art, theater
and dance; and lessons with faculty artists in the students' primary and
secondary instruments.
     Rickey Andrews, James Johnson, Scott Johnson and Anna Vorhes are
Augustana faculty members participating in the program.  Other musicians
serving as faculty artists in 1998 are Michael Acord, Jeff Doebler, S.
Blake Duncan, Allen French, Paul Morton, David Neely, Clark Poffer, James

     The public is invited to more than 50 concerts and recitals during
the four-week program at Augustana.
