Stanger Leads On Europe Trip

Russell Stanger, conductor of the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, will take a month's leave of absence to conduct the choir of the Cocllia Society on a tour of France this spring.

Although Stanger will conduct the orchestra in its March concert at Sanders Theatre he is not expected to lead it in the proposed tour during the spring vacation.

The Cecilia Society is an amateur mixed choir of about 90 voices which meets regularly in Boston. Its European four, which will last from April 17 to May 8, is being sponsored by the Fine Arts Department of the French government and the United States embassy in France.
