Early in May the boys migrated from their Winter home in the old Imperial Palace in Vienna to the Alpine moun- tain retreat, where for three months they mingle sports with outdoor work and prepare themselves for the Winter's | work indoors, The boys themselves, under the direction of the Rev. Joseph Schnitt, and their choir director, George Gruber, do practically all the work on the Tyrolean farm where they spend their Summers. Here they raise all their own vege- tables and tend the vineyards from which quantities of grapes are sold to help pay Saengerknaben expenses. Here, too, come visitors for Summer vacations and this income also helps to finance the choir. The boys' clothing is nearly all made by volunteer seam- | stresses, who made the attractive suits Community The Underwriters' Assoclation of the District of Columbia has appointed Col. L. C.

By the middle of the Seven- teenth century, they had enlarged their talents to Include opera and had be- |come a national institution, supported by the state. Not even the terrific | political and national upheavals of the | World War could sweep the Saenger- | knaben out of existence and today, the organization with which Haydn, Mozart, | Schubert and many other illustrious ones received much of their musical | training, plans to bring once again to the United States its quaint and pro- | vocative music.

It is true, fresh air and | lower prices are an inducement, | but the need of a reduction of en- i trance fees has already been gen-J erally recognized and, no doubt, | the desirability of more fresh air | n our concert halls will also soon | come under consideration. Prac-‘ tically every one knows how much heavier a heavy symphonk; pro- | gram grows with the diminishing of the oxygen supply in an audi- torium. Those who are longing for con- firmation that this country is really musical and that serious music is desired should feel re-| assured by the schedule planned | in every large city for the Sum- mer music. The only regular‘ Summer season that the hard| times have affected is the Holly-| wood Bowl concerts. The reasons | given for their discontinuance are: “Existing economic condi tions, lack of adequate individual, corporate, or governmental sub- sidy; inability to reach an agree- ment with the musicians as to a salary scale adequate to meet the meeds of the present emergency.” To counteract this deflection, an- | other orchestra has been born in Newark, N. J., to be known as the Newark Symphony Orchestra and | concerts are planned in the city’s stadium under the direction of a young American, Robert Crawford. In New York, rehearsals of the Goldman Band, whose concerts on the Mall in Central Park and the | New York University campus draw | large crowds, are under way. In Western Connecticut, a six weeks series of three concerts a week will be given under the di-{ rection of Nikolai Sokoloff with | such soloists as Mario Chamlee, Ruth Miller, Emily Roosevelt, Jacques Gordon, Emma Otero, Benno Rabinoff and Sascha Jacobsen. Again, in Westport, Conn.,,-a series of eight out-of- door concerts are planned by the Manhattan Symphony Orchestra | with the avowed intention of fea- turing an American composition on each program. It is of great import that this Bummer the public mind, or the minds of those planning for the public, turn to thoughts of grand | opera. This country is opera | starved, there is no doubt about t, and when there is a chance to | thear it without the ceremony and adornments that the Winter sea- son demands, the “general public” is glad to respond. Nothing in‘ music can entirely replace that | combination of inspiration, fan- | tasy, romance and drama which | s grand opera. The Philadelphia | Summer concerts at Robin Iiood Dell, Fairmont Park, will intro- duce opera into the series and give two performances a week on each Monday and Tuesday eve- ming. The artists, Anne Roselle, Leon Rothier, Frederick Jagel and ine Meisle come from the olitan or Chicago operas and will appear in the old fa- wvorites, “Aida,” “Faust,” “Rigo- jetto,” “Mme. Butterfly” and “Car- | men.” ‘The Steel Pier Grand Opera Co. will open in Atlantic City on YJuly 2 with a repertory that will | fnclude a mixture of light ahd grand opera. The Chicago Opera Co. is having crowded houses in | New York and the Empire State Opera Co. is giving a few per- formances at the Fifty-seventh Street Playhouse. An al fresco season is planned by the Com- monwealth Grand Opera Co. to take place in the George Wash- Ington Stadium beginning July 3. wi leally beautiful sur- furnished by the would be inter- could have a viated form ng the Sum- | nervous citi- isco began view of the eco- d not the San Franc be discon- tinued?” The leading San Fran- cisco journal Argonaut, made a quick and “As soon tear down its buildings as sc: cries the Argona bitter: carefully munity into cents and sell grandeur, the living wonder of the cool, gr y Jove. To organize and establish & great symphony orchestra is the work of man s with the reward of increased ¢ culture, fmproved art standards, enviable musical achievements and tradi- tions. It is almost safe to say that a city that lacks a symphony orchestra falls belows the high- est standards of refinement and aristocracy of spiritual ambition.” Following these uplifting words may be added a few of the re- marks anent the National Sym- phony Orchestra that came pour- ing into Manager C. C. Capell's office when the announcement of its c¥ntinuance next season was defaltely made. Edward C. Pot- *THIS Sp askir nomi P D the d continues short, c; | Kiwanis Club, writes: “I feel that for a community. It is the ve- hicle by means of which is taken a journey into the infinite—to that region of spirituality far from the care and turmoil of this mundane existence—a region of peace. How vital, therefore, is the service of an orchestra to a community.” Julius Garfinckel, merchant, writes: has been one of the finest things that has ever come in to the cul- tural life of Washington. It is important to the city that it should continue.” Myron Whit- ney, president of the Washington | Choral Society says: “Every city ! which has such an orchestra is | invariably more music-minded than one which has none. An orchestra gives an individual a | more personal contact with the truly great in music.” Weldon Carter of the Washington Musical Institute expresses the belief that nothing so quickly cultivates a public taste for music as sym- phony concerts, especially when | given at popular prices as in the case of the National Symphony. If Washington is to grow music- ally out of its status of a small town,-it cannot afford to lose its National Symphony Orchestra.” “It is impossible to measure the educational and cultural value of the National Symphony Orches- tra,” says Mrs. Eugene Byrnes, president of the Friday Morning | Music Club. “To the children, a | new world of sound is opened up —they learn to distinguish differ- ence of tone in the various in-| struments, their ears are trained to the finest in musical literature. The opportunity is provided for thousands of listeners to hear the best that has been and is being written in music. We need, the world needs, such inspiration to| help balance the ordinary affairs| of existence” Mrs. F. E. Farring- | ton, head of the Chevy Chase | Girls’ School, regards the National | Symphony “as one of the most potent educational forces in the City of Washington.” Dewey Zirkin, president of the | prominent “I think this the National Symphony Orches- tra, aside from its excellence as a superb musical organization, is a most necessary part in the life of the Nation’s Capital.” And Dr. C. E. Christiani sums up the reac- tion of all music lovers to the effect of good music: “The value of the symphony orchestra to the listener lies not so much in mate- rial, but more in spiritual values. It develops in the human heart a desire for the better things of life, it stirs up thoughts of beauty, it lifts us above the commonplace things of life and gives us an ex- cellent lesson in harmony as ap- plied to our daily lives.” Potter Recital.
