T. W. E. David (Sir Tannatt William Edgeworth), 1858-1935, Australian geologist and explorer, b. near Cardiff, Wales. David came to Australia in 1882 as an assistant geological surveyor. In 1891 he was appointed professor of geology and physical geography at the Univ. of Sydney. He was part of the Shackleton expedition to Antarctica (1907-9), in the course of which Mt. Erebus was ascended, the south magnetic pole was located, and the polar plateau was crossed to a point less than 100 mi (160 km) from the South Pole. He was knighted in 1920. His works include Geographical Notes of the British Antarctic Expedition (1909) and The Geology of Australia (1932).

North Ave. (MORE INFORMATION ON CONCERTS) Ensemble Musical Offering is, in a sense, the house band of the festival. EMO has a close relation with the Historical Keyboard Society because its leader is keyboard player Joan Parsley, the tireless founder and artistic director. Aptly enough, EMO's Palm Sunday program will be the Bach Cantata for Palm Sunday. It will also showcase Parsley in concertos for one and two harpsichords. Her keyboard partner in the duo-concerto will be Edward Parmentier, one of the festival's headliners. Trio Sonnerie, in February of last year on an Early Music Now concert in Milwaukee, gave a stunning account of virtuoso showpieces by composers a generation or two ahead of Bach. Violinist Monica Huggett, gambist Sarah Cunningham and harpsichordist Gary Cooper played with the wild intensity and abandon associated with Romantic, heroic instrumentalism, and it all sounded quite plausible. The trio, which is based in London, will be joined by Baroque flutist Wilbert Hazelzet. What will they make of "A Musical Offering"? Musica Antiqua Koln is now the hottest early- music group in Europe. Its charismatic leader, violinist-violist Reihard Goebel, has been at the forefront of a more frankly virtuosic and expressive approach to Baroque music that has erased the old plain + dull = authentic equation from The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; 3/9/1997; TOM STRINI; 458 words; ... meet the great composer and organist Dietrich Buxtehude and, perhaps, to angle for getting the old man's prestigious job.
