DECIDE ON COURSE Music Association Yotes to Soare Big Arists for Local Goncerts Directors of the Civic Music asso- ciation, meeting at the Burritt at noon today, finally agreed upon a continuation of the subscription con- cert course during 1929-30. Under the leadership of President W. C. Hungerford and Arthur C. Kimball, it was agreed to provide a course for subscribers to include the most prominent artists obtainable. If the new high school auditorium is completed by February or there- abouts, it is prohable that the clos- ing concert of the course will -be given there, it was indicated. If this is possible it is likely to be a week- day evening concert, it being felt that in the early spring this is a more desirable time than a concert on Sunday afternoon. The 1930 con- cert of the Choral society, whether it is given in conjunction with the Music association course or separate- ly, in all likelihood will be given in the new senior high school auditor- ium if completed. The directors of the Music associa- tion felt positive that most of tie subscribers to last scason's course would be glad to join the association for next season's course; and that a large number in add having will be willing to join, thus adding material- ly to the membership. ‘With this cheerfu] view predominating, the di- rectors decided to begin correspond- ence with the managements of prom- inent artists at once. It is hoped to clear the decks for next fall's con- certs at as early a date as possible.
