F—6 THE SUNDAY BSTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, APRIL 28, 1935—PART FOUR. NEWS AND VIEWS GATHERED IN A WORLD OF MUSIC Symphony Concert Dates Great Musical Activity Is Planned for Summer Various Groups Have Organized Festivals. Bach Celebrations i Abroad—Mary Gard n This Country and en Conducts Classes. By Alice Eversman. HE Summer will see no secession of ood musical events or opportunities of furthering knowledge of the art in its many branches. In fact, musical endeavors when t; with Winter affairs and_inclinei it is an ideal period for extra he mind is free from occupation d for pure enjoyment. No such enjoyment is possible without music in some form, and the effort being made by various Summer organizations to bring more of the better kind of programs is worthy of commendation. Several new and progressive educational plans add interest to the vacation possibilities. From the Berkshires comes the ennouncement of the second Berk- | shire Symphonic Festival, on August | 8, 10 and 11, with the further state- ment that “America will have its owr: Salzburg.” The orchestra of this pop- ular Summer festival has been aug- mented to 85 men under the direction of Henry Hadley. Classic and cultural music will form the programs which will be presented “under the moon” in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. No more ideal spot could be chosen to form a second “Salzburg” for the fame of these beautiful hills draws visitors from all over the country. If a high standard of music is sustained for the programs. there is no reason why it should not become an attrac- tion for music lovers who would wish to combine a pleasant trip with the enjoyment of fine music in a scenic getting hard to equal in this country or Europe. The board of trustees says, “We fell that in furnishing good music in beautitul outdoor surround- | ings at a low cost, we are serving the public in an important way.” The honorary president of the festival is Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. At Yaddo, an experimental session will be held ffom August 15 to Sep- tember 8, during which new works will be read with the purpose of plan- ning for a large festival in the Fall of 1936. The reading period will be divided between works for small com- binations. including quartets, works for chamber orchestras and composi- tions for ensembles up to eight play- ers. The composers whose works are chosen for this special hearing will be | fnvited to Yaddo to hear their works porformed. Lean Barzin is in charge of this preparatory festival. The Bach Festival this year in Bethlehem, Pa., May 17 and 18, will take on special significance as part of the world-wide celebration of” fhe 250th anniversary of the birth™of Johann Sebastian Bach. On Friday, May 17, the Passion music will be given at the afternoon and evening per- formances, ana on Saturday the Mass | in B Minor will have its twenty-eighth complete rendition. The soloists will be Louise Lerch, soprano; Rose Bampton, contralto: Dan Gridley, tenor, and Julius Huehn, bass, with Bruce Carey conducting the Bach choir of 280 voices. In Germany every city associated with the career of Bach will have its separate celebration. Eisenach, where Bach was born; Weimar, where he became court organist at the age of 23: Ohrdruf, in which small center he | first learned the clavier, Lune- berg, where he pursued the study of the organ and piano, to be later chosen by Prince Leopold as his capel meister in Anhalt, and Leipzig, the scene of his greatest work and his final resting place. The German rail- roads have reduced the fares for visit- ing these places 60 per cent for all who stay at least a week. ‘The Chicago Musical College an- nounces the addition of Mary Garden to its rostrum of artists conducting master classes at the college during the Summer. Miss Garden, undoubt- edly the greatest singing actress of her | time, will teach stage deportment and dramatic song and opera for six weeks, beginning June 24. The small but up- to-date theater in the college will be used as a laboratory of musical and dramatic talent, where Miss Garden will train different casts in every nu- ance of operatic art and will herself demonstrate the manner in which it should be done, The repertoire will include “Faust,” “Tosca,” “Carmen,” “Thais,” “Pelleas et Melisande.” “Love of Three Kings,” “Louise” and other operas in which Miss Garden's inter- pretation has never been equaled. When Miss Garden made her con- tract with the college, she stipulated that the tuition for her classes should be within the reach of students of all | walks of life. There will be three les- sons a week of three hours’ duration. A scholarship will be awarded in a competitive examination at the open- ing of the term, Isidor Philipp, celebrated Frénch pedagogue, professor of piano at the Paris Conservatoire, will return to America this year to resume his mas- ter classes in New York and Boston which proved so successful last Sum- mer. The classes will be held from May 20 to July 10 at Aeolian Hall, New York, and Felix Fox School, Bos- ton. Mr. Philipp is one of the most progressive of French artists cham- | pioning the cause of modern compos- ers besides influencing the growth of piano technique by the evolution of constructive theories. His classes last Summer were attended by students from 29 States. With the idea of making the younger generation acquainted with the works of contemporary American composers prize competition has been offered by the educational publishers, Ginn & Co., for songs by Americans for youths of school age. prize will be $500, the second and third $300 each and the fourth, fifth and sixth, $100 each. Only native or naturalized Americans can compete. Very laudable is the statement given out by the editorial department of the | firm, which says: “Young peopl should not complete their musical | education in the schools with the feel- | ing that all good music was composed by some one who lived long ago and in a foreign land. The students in our schools should have an oppor- tunity of singing songs which con- temporary American composers have written for them and which are just | as representative of their best thought | as those which they write for adult performers. come for the American composer to | write for young people just as artistic- | ally and spontaneously as he prepares songs for a concert audience. There has been a tendency to ‘write down’ for public school music with the feel. ing, perhaps, that just any kind of | material is good enough for the basis of music education in the schools. We | are instituting this prize award with the hope that the outcome will bring fine new and vital music to the young people of the country.” Somers' Glee Club Concert Elizabeth Somers Glee Club will | ARRANGEMENTS for the National | | Piano-Playing Toumnment’ throughout the Nation, under direction | 3 give its annual concert on Fri- day at the Elizabeth Somers, the‘ residence home of the Y.

'As Torrents in Summer,” by Edward Elgar, is to be sung in memory of the composer, who died recently. classic composers are further rep- resented by Mendelssonn and Wag- ner.
