Student to exhibit in Clayton Hall
     Julie Dzedzy, a University senior from Claymont working toward a
bachelor of fine arts degree, will exhibit her paintings from Jan. 18-
Feb. 11 in Clayton Hall. A reception honoring the artist is planned
from 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 8, also in Clayton Hall.
     Dzedzy, who is working on an honors thesis, is a member of the
Golden Key National Honor Society and has won a number of awards and
scholarships. Her work has been included in five previous shows,
although this is her first solo exhibition.
     Of her work, Dzedzy says: "The trees are bare this time of year,
and, because of that, it is easy to see those spaces that the branches
define. With painting, I can explore the whispers that exist in those
spaces. When I look into those spaces, I see reflections of my
reality. As an adult, my reality is much different from when I was a
child, yet the intensity of the explorations is the same. The branches
still entangle me. Now, I simply have more things to explore."
     Hours for the lobby gallery are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Mondays through
Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Fridays. For more information,
call 831-8844.

Kay Ensemble to perform Jan. 19
     The Judith Kay Ensemble, performing jazzy songs from Brazil and
the U.S., will appear at 8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19, in the Loudis
Recital Hall of the Amy E. du Pont Music Building.
     Kay will be on the Newark campus in January teaching a special
class on the Brazilian sound. To enroll through the Division of
Continuing Education, call the ACCESS Center at 831-2741.
     Kay specializes in the music of George Gershwin, Cole Porter,
Duke Ellington and such popular and distinguished songwriters of
Brazil as Antonio Carlos Jobim and Gilberto Gil. Her performances of
these masterworks have kept her in demand as a solo performer in
Europe, South America, the U.S. and Canada.
     Kay is an active composer and arranger. Her pieces include string
quartets, chamber works, big band arrangements and numerous songs in
English and Portuguese.
     She is a 1979 National Endowment for the Arts music fellow and a
1980 Delaware State Arts Council grant recipient, in composition and
arranging. In 1995, she will assume an individual artist fellowship
for the Delaware Division of the Arts in jazz performance.
     Kay's Newark appearance is sponsored by the Department of Music
and the Performing Arts Series. Tickets for the Jan. 19 concert-at $8
for the general public and $5 for senior citizens and University
faculty and staff-will be available at the door only. There is no
charge for students.
