MAY 3 ALLIED ARTS CORPORATION presents THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA EUGENE ORMANDY, Music Director From its first concert on November 16, 1900, the Philadelphia Orchestra has been one of the world’s leading artistic institutions. Harold C. Schonberg, chief music critic of The New York Times, recently wrote, “. one could leave the hall in admiration for the greatest virtuoso orchestra active today, and probably the greatest virtuoso orchestra of all time.” The Orchestra has friends everywhere who share the critics’ enthusiasm. As one fan wrote after a nationwide telecast, “I can’t imagine heaven without the Philadelphia Orchestra.” The Orchestra was born at the turn of the present century, when a group of music lovers determined that Philadelphia should have its own permanent symphony orchestra and asked the German musician Fritz Scheel to become conductor. Both Scheel and his suc cessor, another German, Carl Pohlig, laid the firm foundations of a great orchestra. In its thirteenth season Leopold Stokowski was engaged and remained in Philadelphia for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. Ormandy, who in 1966 observed his 30th Anniversary as Music Director and Conductor, became the Orchestra’s fourth conductor. The last two men are credited with having built the Philadelphia O'^hestra into a world renowned ensemble. Ormandy’s unique contributions are his superb judgment in creating beautifully balanced programs and his selection of brilliant first chair artists, all of whom, as it happens, are American born and trained. These musicians are the secret ingredient of the Famed Phila delphia Orchestra sound, but the mastermind belongs to Ormandy. The Orchestra is probably the world’s most traveled symphonic organization. In addition to extensive annual touring throughout the United States, including seven trans continental tours, it has played the role of musical ambassador to Europe on three different occasions. In 1949 Mr. Ormandy and the Orchestra toured Great Britain, and, in 1955 and 1958, all of Europe, including Russia. Wherever the Orchestra went on these triumphant tours abroad it played to crowds of enthusiastic listeners. The reception accorded the Orchestra in Russia made musical history; in each city tumultuous ovations followed every performance. In May and June, 1966, the Philadelphians presented their first concerts in Latin America, during the course of a five-week, 15-000-mile concert tour.
