Starting this month, the Concert Hall is once more something to boast about. The flaking gray paint and the traces of fire damage are gone, new curtains and carpets brighten the interior and the stage has been strengthened and relighted. The re­ moval of the proscenium has given more elbow-room for the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, which begins its season on November 10 with a program of Richard Strauss, Pou­ lenc and Beethoven. The handsome interior also will be a suitable com­ pliment to the talents of Jennie Tourel, who will give the third Candlelight Concert two days later. Miss Tourel will teach as well as perform while she is the Peabody's gllest, in each case an experience eagerly awaited. Her recital pro­ gram will include works by Purcell, Haydn, Mahler, Handel, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Debussy.

EDITH Ho, doctoral student of Arthur Howes, played twelve organ concerts in 18 days during a late sum­ mer tour of Germany, in cities like Hamburg, Schleswig and Flensburg. She was · especially impressed by the range in age of the instruments on which she performed, most of them tracker organs, of which the oldest was built in 1593 and the newest in 1968. Miss Ho, who holds the B.M. and M.M. degrees from Peabody, played a final recital in the East Anglian town of Nayland, which got glowing re­ views. She also traveled in Italy and Austria before returning to school and to her regular job as Director of Music at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Ruxton, Maryland. Another business-with-pleasure tour was that of JANET STEVENS, under­ graduate student of Mme. ALICE GERSTL DUSCHAK, who was chosen as contralto soloist with the combined Princeton University and Smith College Chamber Chorus. The five-week tour took Miss Stevens and friends to Cop­ enhagen, Berlin, , Prague, Brati­ slava, Vienna, Venice and Florence, and allowed time for some sight-seeing and visiting with students in the inter­ Robert Lawrence vals of giving concerts. The Preparatory Department: A New Director

Caryl Daly Friend, new Director of the Preparatory Department, comes to the Peabody from the of Music in New York, where she re­ ceived her degree, and where she has worked for the past fourteen years in several capacities. She was born in Illinois, and attend­ ed the University of Oklahoma, the University of Michigan and the Phila­ delphia Conservatory of Music before settling at Juilliard, where she studied piano and theory and history. For two years she was a fellow of Juilliard and assistant to Richard Franko Goldman, then chairman of the Department of Literature and Ma­ terials of Music. Mrs. Friend is perhaps best known for her work in establishing the Juil­ liard program of musical instruction for dancers, on which she worked with Norman Lloyd, now director of the arts program of the Rockefeller Foun­ dation, and formerly director of the Oberlin College Conservatory. She ad­ ministered the program from 1956 Caryl Daly Friend to 1968, working closely with the dance faculty and students, an experi­ ence which will be especially valuable in the light of the large dance enroll­ Howard County Branch ment at the Prep.
