Electronic Music Set Wednesday

Summer 1970

Electronic music will be presented by Summer-Ithaca at the sixth free, open air Stewart Park concert this summer, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The music will be switched-on courtesy of R. A. Moog of Trumansburg and will be performed by his resident composer, Jonathan Weiss, and his visiting musician, Chris Swanson. The program will include a demonstration of the synthesizer and selections of jazz and modern music with improvizations.

Moog, originator of the synthesizer and president of R. A. Moog Co. which produce the synthesizer systems, is a graduate of Cornell in engineering physics. Weiss is a music major at Antioch college in its Work-Study program.

Swanson is a visiting musician at the Moog Co. and previously has played the trombone professionally with Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, and Herb Pomeroy.
