Simon Estes In Benefit Concert

Simon Estes, noted bass-baritone, third place winner in the men's division of the first Tchaikovsky vocal competition in Moscow and winner in the coveted Munich International music competition, will be presented in a concert Feb. 28 at Centennial hall, Augustana college, Rock Island, Ill.
The young artist, who has been seen by many Clintonians on the Tonight show, is being brought to the Quad-Cities by the Bethel AME church in Davenport in their efforts to raise funds for a new center for recreation and education at Ripley and 11th Sts., Davenport.
Born in Centerville and graduated from the University of Iowa, Simon Estes attended the Juilliard School of Music where he was a scholarship student. From there he went, in 1965, to fulfill major operatic and concert commitments with the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. This season he will sing with the Hamburg Opera, including the creation of two roles, Uncle Albert and Carter James, in Guntha Schuller's new opera, "The Visitation."
Information concerning tickets may be obtained by calling Mrs. Dorothy Steverson at 326-5884 Davenport. Adult tickets are $3 in advance and $3.50 at the door. Student tickets are $1.50
