MU BY HELEN FETTER. ERSISTENTLY the national aspect of Washington is be- ing stressed. President Hoo- ver, it is announced, has ac- cepted the honorary chairman- ship of the committee of gov- ernors of the National Music Week Committee, according to C. M. Tremaine, director of the national bureau for the advance- ment of music. Mr. Hoover is the second Presi- dent of the United States to fill the position. When President Coolidge accepted the position in 1924 he expressed the hope that the observance of Music weck might mark “another milestone on the way to the widest interest; in, and appreciation of, the best in | music culture.” Even so, with the head of our Nation as head of the nationcl Music week plans, several seasons have passed without Washington. as a city with representative music | groups organized for the purpose, | being listed among the American | cities celebrating Music week. This particular “week” usually is hon- ored tiroughout the country dur- ing the first week of May. The |an inevitable social background | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, OCTOBER 6, SIC ready many individuals both in and outsiae of wWasnngton have expressed tneir approva. and Keen inverest in the idea. Amongz others, Mrs. Wilson-Greene re- ceived a telegram from Louise Homer, famous American contrai- to, and her husband, Sidney! Homer. 1t is interesting to get from this concert and opera manager direct , an problems which are being consid- | ered in planning this opera house for Wasnington. “In Europe,” { Greene saia, Mrs. Wilson- “they take their opera much as we take our base | ball—that is, for its own sake. “In America grand opera Ras! without which it never is really a success.

It anything in addition which is at all ambitious, is impractical. How- ever, the Pianists’ Club of Wash- ington makes a point of holding its annual festival during Music week. Also during the past three years it has been the aim of the choral groups that combine under the joint banners of the Washing- ton Church Music Council and the | District of Columbia Federation of Music Clubs to give a concert | during that week: - o % % | | ASHINGTON is first and fore- | most the National Capital.

An unfortunate example of this, I recall, was the necessity of pay- ing $5000 for theater rental to make possible one night and one matinee performance of the Chi- cago Opera Co. here several years ago. These two performances | should not have cost more than $1,000 for auditorium rental. In other words, an expense of $4,000 | n this case was sheer but un- interests. § As t,lt-ne National Capital there |avoidable waste. One should not are many things brought to Wash- | blame theater owners for this: ington and many people who comc they would incur a loss, I believe, to Washington that would never|!0 rent a theater for less than be drawn here by civic interests or endeavors. Among them is the festival of chamber music pre- sented under the auspices of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation at the Library of Con- gress this week. Authorities in the world of music from all ovexr this and even many European countries are the invited guests| at these events and the programs1 are thoroughly universal in thei international and undated appeal. The classicists, who always are represented to some extent at least, will be honored this year with works by the famous three Bs of music literature, Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. * Franz Danzi, who lived in Mann- heim over a hundred years ago, provides the opening composition of the festival. Faure also is rep- of the festival. Faure and Bruck- ner also are represented. Two ultra-modernists’ works form the features of the festival. | Josef Huttel is the Czechoslovak composer whose “Divertissement Grotesque” won the 1929 E. S. Coolidge prize and which will be given its first perform- ance anywhere. It is scored for piano and five wind instru-| ments. Paul Hindemith, whose name is by now quite familiar to musicians all over the world, is represented by a concerto scored for organ and chamber orchestra | which is given its American pre- | miere on this occasion, America has plentiful share in the opportunities given Emerson ‘Whithorne and Ernst Bloch—the latter the Americanized com- poser whose symphonic poem, “America,” was the heralded event orchestrally last season — have compositions listed, and an entire morning program is devoted to American folk music. No attempt will be made here to describe the compositions of the festival. That will be the object of reviews following the events. The artists giving the programs during this festival all are inter- nationally known, and several of them have appeared either on earlier programs in Pittsfield, Mass., where Mrs. Coolidge origi- nated these events, or in Wash- ington in one of the three previ- ous festivals held in the National Capital. The holding of these events in Washington is signifi- cant in that it brings one of the finest cultural endeavors organ- ized in this country to the capital of the country. endeavor * Xk X X ANOTHER musical that recognizes the importance of Washington as the Capital of | the United States is that organ- ized under the auspices of the Pan-American Union, Dr. Leo Rowe, director, with Franklin Adams, councilor. It is the pur- pose of the Pan-American Union’s frequent concerts to acquaint audiences in the Capital of the North American Republic with the music produced in the 20 other American republics, generally spoken of as Latin America. In Washington alone, of all cities in the United States, is it possible to | inciude in an audience for such | purpose the representatives of 48| nations as well as high officials in | the Government of the United! States. 2 A recent statement issued by the Pan-American Union showed | that interest in these programs has been increasingly aroused until now there is a long waiting list for tickets to these events, which are by invitation, Also the limits of the diplomatic section, asuaily reserved, are having to be extended. ‘The next program listed will be given Monday night, December 16. * Kk kK A week ago today Mrs. Wilson- lished as a leading concert man- | | | | | | of that figure under certain circum- stances. However, theater rental | costs form a substantial source of opera deficits in Washington. | “The greater seating capacity of | the proposed hall, which wouid| enable opera companies to gross; the necessary totals without such high prices per seat, and the stim- ulation that would be given to opera attendance by the greater omfort and delight of such a new auditorium are all factors which, in my opinion, would make possi- ble an annual season not only of the Metropolitan Opera Co. but of the Chicago Opera as well. And, in addition, annual engagements | the German, American, San | Carlo, Russian, Philadelphia and other opera companies would be- come highly probable. i “Another factor lies in the ac-| knowledgment that Washington's opera repertoire is decided by the | character of its auditoriums, not by what operas the people want. 1t is still a matter of recent mem- ory that Chaliapin, singing here with the Metropolitan Opera, was ! forced to appear in “Boris Godu- nov,” which he had previously sung in Washington with the Chi- cago Opera, simply because the lonly available theater in Wash- ington was not adequately con- | structed to put on the opera “Mefistofele,” his sensational Met- ropolitan success. “In the concert field I believe the stimulus of a new music hall would be effective. A music hail would make possible the appear- ance here of the greatest orches- tras in selections requiring full quota, sometimes exceeding 100 men. It also would be possible to handle large choruses. The sum of $400 was collected by music lovers last season to prepare the stage of a local theater for the use of a chorus of only 100 when the Boston Symphony Orchestra played Bloch’s “America. “I believe that the erection of such a music hall as we have in mind should make it practical tc give Washington a symphony or- chestra of its own. This type of music_hall would give it a home and should inspire civic interest in an orchestra. “A few years ago Morris Gest approached me with a suggestion that I co-operate with him in pre- senting his great spectacle, ‘The Miracle; in Washington. Mr. Gest and I went over the situa- tion carefully and every aspect was favorable except a place to give it. In the end Mr. Gest's ex- perts told him there was no the- ater in Washington in which ‘The Miracle’ could be staged, and as a result Washington has not had that drama. “I have long believed that the erection of an adequate music hall should place the National Capital in the forefront of American mu- sical cities—on a par, let us say, with cities like Boston, Philadel- phia, Chicago and Los Angeles. And, from the standpoint of so- cial and artistic brilliance, it would make Washington’s musical season second to none.” D. C. Federation Honors Mrs. Kelly Tuesday Night 'HE D. C.

Concerning a New Artist Playing Here Next Week 'ELICIA RYBIER, of Polish birth, the past Summer at No. 2 Dupont cir- cle, will make her first appearance here in formal concert Thursday night, Oc- tober 17. in the small ballroom of the Willard Hotel, at 8:30 o'clock. She is scheduled to play works by Bach- Taussig, Paderewsk:, Balakireff, Mous- sorgsky, Scriabine, Mana-Zucca, Liszt and others. Miss Rybier has had both her mu- sical education and a career aboard before coming to this country, although she is still a young artist. Born in Warsaw, her parents moved when she was but a child to Berlin, Germany. She studied under Theodore Schown- berg, head of the piano class at the Sternesches Konservatorium, which she finished with highest honors. She was awearded the only medal honor, a silver medal, When 13 years old, Miss Rybier played in a_grand piano contest and was the only girl accepted. During that year she also played in the home of Leschetizky in his famous class con- certs, a_very short while before his death. Her other teachers were Leonid Kreutzer and«Conrad Ausorge of Berlin. After the war, 1918-22, Miss Rybier toured Germany and Poland, playing with leading orchestras, both in Ger- many and with the Warsaw Philhar- monic Orchestra in her own. country. She had several appearances in Lon- don and in 1924 came to America on tour. She played 30 recitals in various cities, and had 10 performances in Boston in cne season.. In the following vear she returned to Europe for en- gagements there which kept her fi months. She then came back to New York and tpent the following year in Miami, Fla., where she gave five re- number of other musical events. She toured Florida and came in the late Spring to Washington, where she de- sires to permanently establish headquarters, o The National Sinfonietta Will Rehearse Next Week ‘HE “National Sinfonietta,” Wwith 30 musicians enrclled, will start rehearsals again next week. teen of its members made up chamber orchestra which appeared Opens Branch Studio N response to many requests that she extend her teaching activities to her | home section of the city, Edna Bishop with marked success at the second con- cert of the Friends of Music at the Library of, Congress May 5, 1929.
