Choices of contributors of original music to the three evening musicales on May 1, 2 and 3, as part of the University Symposium on Music Criticism, were announced Saturday by the Department of Music.
Bohuslav Martinu, a Czechoslovak, William Schuman, President of the Juilliard School in New York City, and the Mexican virtuese Carlos Chavez are included among the distinguished musicians invited to make contributions. Martinu with Walter Piston, professor of Music, are composing string quartets for the opening program, and Arnold Schoenberg is preparing a string trio for the occasion.
The following night will feature a choral concert performed by the Collegiate Choralo of New York, with Robert Shaw as conductor. Paul Hindemith has been secured to write a composition for chorus and brass instruments, with offerings at the same time by Asron Copland and Francisco Malipiere.
Ballet created by William Schuman and performed by Martha Graham and her company will be the core of the final concert, May 3. Carles Chavez "Dark Meadow," which saw a footlight debut in New York last winter by Miss Graham will conclude the evening.
