Chamber music will be played in the Methodist College
Reeves Auditorium on the evening of November 18 at 8 o'clock.

in 1799 when the composer was 29 years old. "Sonata in C Minor, Opus
30, No. 2" was composed in 1803.
"Sonata in G Major, Opus 96" was
written by Beethoven in 1816.

Perhaps in an attempt to assure the general public
that classical music is not solely for social and formal occasions,
Gates and Matteson are staging the informal All-Beethoven Concert in
the round for the Fayetteville community .
Mimeographed programs will be used at the concert.
Before the program begins, there will be a brief discussion of the music
to be played,
"Beethoven liberated music. . .now we hope to liberate
his music for the everyday working person's and college student's benefit,'
Matteson has commented.
"Why should people have to go home, have dinner, dress
stylishly and then rush to hear an hour-and-a-half concert? For the
November 18 gathering, it's come-as-you-are. There will be no problem
about getting good seats since everyone will be on the stage close to
the players," Matteson added.
Dr. Gaten commented that the concert is "an experiment
in recitals . The idea of presenting it came about while we were playing
for f u n . We hope to add a bit to Beethoven's anniversary. The concert
is informal to attract students who wouldn't come otherwise."
For Dr. Gates, director of the Fayetteville Symphony
Orchestra and head of the Music Department at Methodist, teaching music
is a profession; playing the violin and viola is a hobby.
Dr. Gates, a native of Rouring Spring, Pa. , who began
playing at age ten, earned his B . M . degree at Peabody Conservatory,

Baltimore, Md. He won a scholarship from Pennsylvania State University
to study at Peabody, where he graduated cum laude.
Dr. Gates taught in the Baltimore, M d . , schools before
serving in the Air Force. He studied on a graduate assistantship at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 1949 he earned his Ph. D.
at the U n i v e r s i t y .
While there, he was concert master of the University
Symphony Orchestra .
Before coming to Methodist College in 1960, Dr. Gates
taught at Willammette University in Salem, Ore., for ten years. While
there, he was director of the University-Community Symphony Orchestra.
Although teaching and conducting occupy most of his
t i m e , Dr. Gates enjoys playing chamber music as a hobby.
Until his four daughters, Peg, Lynn, Cathy and Becky,
left home for college, he and Mrs. Gates enjoyed very musical family
evenings. The Gates musicians play violin, viola, and cello.
Mrs. Gates, who shares her husband's musical talents
and interests, also plays violin and viola. She is a member of the
Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra and participates in chamber quartets
with Dr. Gates and students or members of the Symphony.
Matteson has taught chemistry and mathematics at
Methodist for five years. He plays the piano, organ, oboe, and English

horn as a musical hobby. A member of the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra
for four seasons, Matteson is immediate past president of the Symphony
Board.
Matteson is a native of Oxford, N. C.
He earned his
B. S. degree at Wake Forest University and his M. S. at the University of
South Carolina. In addition to music, Matteson enjoys bridge, cooking
and reading for hobbies -- evidence of his belief that modern man has to
have varied interests. "There is no excuse for boredom today," he insisted.
Matteson's interest in music began when he took piano
lessons at age seven. At age thirteen he was playing the oboe, which he
plays now in the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra.
Although he seldom played for audiences before coming
to F a y e t t e v i l l e , Matteson has since performed in recitals with music
instructors at Methodist College. He recently was a guest director for the
Methodist College Wind Ensemble during an assembly program on campus.
Commenting on the All-Beethoven program, Matteson said,i
"Dr. Gates must know every sonata ever written! Of the forty we played
before selecting our program, he had not played only one of t h e m . I think
the concert will be interesting, especially since I will be playing completely
from scratch with a very talented musician."
The All-Beethoven Concert is open to the public. There
will be no admission charge.
