ALLIED ARTS CORPORATION presents THE , 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 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.

'Valentina KOJELIS SOPRANO Valentina Kojelis received her basic musical education at the State Conservatory, Kaunas in her native Lithuania. Subsequently, she spent four years in Munich, Germany, where she studied voice and reper­ toire with the famed vocal teacher Paul Neumann, professor at die Akademie der Tonkunst and made appearances both in recital and as soloist with orchestra. Her United States debut took place in January I960 in New York's Town Hall with the late Paul Ulan- owsky, distinguished pianist as her accompanist. She was enthusiastically received by the audience and won acclaim of the critics. Since then she has appeared successfully in concerts in many major cities of the United States.

... an exciting vocal artist. She has a lovely soprano voice that she produces skillfully and smoothly nearly all the time and she is very attractive in appearance. Allen Hughes, New York Times

Miss Kojelis displayed a lyric soprano generous in size, pure in quality and ample in range . . . her extraordinary talent remains undoubted. Martin Bernheimer, New York Herald Tribune

The most outstanding renditions of her program were perhaps the most musically demanding works scheduled. Especially fine interpretations were achieved in Brahms and Schubert works. One of Miss Kojelis most valuable assets is her excellent breath control, which enabled her to mould phrases in the most natural manner. K. L. The Boston Herald

"Stunning" is the immediate reaction upon seeing Valentina Kojelis, The Lithuanian-born, lyric color­ atura soprano is statuesque and slender, with finely chiseled features and an aristocratic air . . . Debussy and Duparc songs made the high point of the afternoon. Harvey Siders, The Boston Globe

Making a Los Angeles debut at the Wilshire Ebell Theater last Sunday night Lithuanian soprano Valentina Kojelis charmed her audience with a clear full bodied voice, a tasteful musicianship and an exceptional personal beauty. Petterson Greene, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner

Wilshire Ebell Theater was the scene of the first Los Angeles recital Sunday evening by Valentina Kojelis . . . the singers choice of German and French songs were specimens of particular lyric re­ finement. Robert Riley, Los Angeles Times

Miss Kojelis is endowed, by nature or by training, with a lovely, large and easy voice. In addition, she shows signs of both musical and artistic gifts. Daniel Cariaga, Independent, Long Beach, Calif.
