The Westminster Singers (Arabic and English poster distributed in Beirut)
A black and green concert poster with a group photograph of about twenty-five singers in evening dress, announcing two concerts by The Westminster Singers at the American University of Beirut Assembly Hall on 26 and 27 April, with free tickets. The tell is glittering generalities: the choir is billed in superlatives as 'one of America's foremost choral groups' and among the best-known in the United States, with no measure given.
