KOUSSEVITZKY AND THE MUSIC OF TODAY In his final concert of the season in Carnegie Hall, New York {Saturday, April 13), Dr. Koussevitzky included David Diamond's "Rounds for String Orchestra" and Samuel Barber's new Violoncello Concerto, with Raya Gar- bousova as soloist. The event led Olin Downes to make the following interest- ing observation in the "New York Times": "The effect of their music wac one more testimony and vindication of ihe faith that Dr. Koussevitzky has shown, since his arrival in this country twenty- two seasons ago, in the gifts of our creative musicians of the rising genera- tions. From the beginning of his con- ductorship of the Boston Symphony Or- chestra he has sought out native talent and insistently given it opportunities of a hearing and the benefit of his per- sonal aid and counsel, and to composers he has won the reward for these labors. Two concert programs which have pro- duced three scores of such merit as JO GOPELAND Aaron Copland's 'Appalachian Spring,' played Thursday night, and the Diamond This is a designer original and Barber compositions of yesterday with a smoother, longer afternoon, are among the proofs, not body, defined by draping. only of what Koussevitzky has done, Rayon alpaca, in grey or beyond any other conductor this country has ever seen, for its composers, but navy 124.00 also the way in which the composers Sizes 10 to 16 are repaying in kind their championship by Serge Koussevitzky."
