BOSTON SYMPHONY CHAMBER PLAYERS The Boston Symphony Orchestra has formed its first players into the Boston Symphony Chamber Players to present public concerts of chamber music. With the announcement of the creation of the Chamber Players Erich Leinsdorf, who will also serve as Music Director of the new ensemble, said, "The Boston Sym- phony Orchestra is fortunate to have among its members a number of splen- did chamber music players, to whom the cultivation of this most refined music is an artistic necessity. As Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra I re- joice that we can give to the public, as well as to the players, the most complete 'coverage' of music." The Boston Symphony Orchestra is the only major symphony orchestra in this country to sponsor such an activity for its solo players. The repertoire for the Boston Symphony Chamber Players will include chamber music written for strings, winds, and brasses as well as string trios, quartets, and wind quintets. With the variety of instrumentation available among the first players of the Boston Symphony, the Chamber Players Satisfy will be drawing from the broadest range of the chamber music repertoire from your fondest the pre-Baroque to Contemporary compulsions — periods.

If it's music you have in mind, you'd do better hiring one short-winded tuba player. Our symphonic friend here can't play any of the instruments very well. Virtuosity takes years of devotion to one instrument. Same rule applies to investment management. That's why every one of our invest- ment analysts concentrates in a selected area. Like chemicals.
