Ott - wo CENTS IN SEATTLE Shall Seattle Be a City of Culture? , STRONG FIGHT; Or, One Only of Jazz and Commerce? (EDITORIAL) OES Seattle want to earn the reputation of being the cultural center of the Pacifie North- west? Or is it content to be known only as a city of commerce and jazz? Those are questions which the people themselves will be called upon to answer when the Seattle Civie Symphony Orchestra opens its third season at the Metropolitan theater on December 8. The Seattle Civic Symphony Orchestra has enjoyed a precarious existence for the last two years. It has man- aged to pay its expenses, somehow or other, to date. But the time has now come when it must be put on a sounder financial basis if it is to be continued. Unlike the ordinary symphony orchestra—the members of which have to be paid high salaries—the civic orchestra does not require huge endowments by multi-millionaires. Its members donate their services out of sheer love of music. But even at that there are certain expenses which must be met—rental for a rehearsal hall, theater rental, new music and the like—which run up into several thou- sand dollars a year. And these expenses cannot be met unless a good attendance is assured at the concerts. But why is a symphony orchestra necessary? There are two principal ms. In the first place, the small orchestras cannot play the great symphonic compo- sitions, which are the highest development of musical form. In other words, without a symphony orchestra, Seattle cannot enjoy the best music—no matter how good the smaller orchestras are. The second reason is even more important. By reason of its peculiar structure, the symphony orchestra brings music—the best of music—directly into the homes in a way in which nothing else could accomplish it. The great majority of the civic orchestra players are not professional musicians; they are just ordinary citizens, who would in no other way get an opportunity to reach the musical heights that they do in the civic orchestra; they would never have a chance to play accompaniment orchestration for great artists and familiarize themselves and their families with such elevating musical literature. One can read Shakespeare, Goethe, Ibsen—any of the great masters of literature—in the privacy of one’s own home and get the same benefit from it as if the works were studied in a great institution. But the greatest works of the great composers are barred to the public un- less there is an oppor- tunity to hear them thru a vast combination of players, such as only a symphony orchestra pro- vides. There's another reason why Seattle should sup- port its orchestra — largely sentimental, pos- sibly, but none the less sound. Mme. Davenport-Eng- berg, creator of Seattle's Civie Symphony Orchestra, has labored untiringly to give Ito Seattle this great institution—which is almost unique jin American cities—and it would be the rankest form of ingratitude to permit her efforts to go to waste. The verdict is up to the people. They can express it at the opening concert on December 3. Both the orchestra, {with its 110 pieces, and the visiting artist, Toscha Seidel, world-famed violinist, are well worth hearing—the price of admission could not be spent in any more beneficial manner. But more than that. Does Seattle want to earn the reputation of being the cultural center of the Pacific Northwest? Or is it content to be known only as a city of com- ;merce and jazz?
