MUSIC FESTIVAL AT LIBRARY ENDS Mrs. Hoover and Party Hear Stokowski Give Bach’s Work. \ Mrs. Herbert Hoover and a party of friends headed the most brilliant audience of the entire festival of chamber music at the program which closed the series this year in the Eliza- beth Sprague Coolidge Foundation au- ditorfum at the Library of Congress last night. | Many Dl’ornlnent musicians from out | * of town, not here for earlier programs | in the festival, were present at this final event. Although ts to the mp‘dt{ of the hall had long since b!en K‘en out, a long line of many ington musicians waited hope- f\llly ',hl’ough the Hindemith “Con- certo” to see if there would be chance to get in to hear the Bach ‘work. A few did get in, but many could not, although, as a matter of fact, there were not a few empty seats scat- tered through the house, * particularly in the front side rows. It seemed too bad that ushers could not have filled | every scat, at least when there was such Interest shown in this event. Stokowski Tops List. Leopold Stokowski was the most prominent artist of the evening. He conducted a chamber music orchesira that was, In size, a young symphony, being composed of 43 men in addition to the soloists, Lynnwood Farnam at the organ and Lewis Richards and Frank Bibb at the two harpsichords, or cembali. Mr. Stokowski won unusual interest, due to the recent brilliantly successful advent of his orchestra in the field of radio broadcasting, and he was given an ovation on his appear- ance. The orchestn players participating Y all were members of the Phtlnde iphia Symphbony Orchestra and they showed their usual supremely fine co-ordination, giving masterly ensem- ble playing especially noticeable in tne fugue variations which were written for full orchestra and organ.

From a standpoint of mus!cul architecture, this concerto doubtless has its significant values. However, by th! time that Mr. Stokowski and his e semble had finished the last flour\shlnl tones of the Bach “Kunst der Fugue' one auditor at least had long since for- gotten that Mr. Hindemith even had written anything that was performed during the evening.
