Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 88, 1968-1969 TUESDAY A SERIES EIGHTY-EIGHTH SEASON 1968-1969 Exquisite Sound From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made in the original design. The early instruments shown in drawings on the tomb of Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Hebrews took the form as we know it today. The pedal harp was invented about 1720 by a Bavarian named Hochbrucker and through this ingenious device it be- came possible to play in eight major and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment. The certainty of change makes necessary a continuous review of your insurance protection. We welcome the opportunity of providing this service for your business or personal needs.

TICKET RESALE AND RESERVATION PLAN The ticket resale and reservation plan has now operated for the past five seasons and has proved a great success. The Trustees wish again to thank subscribers who have taken part, and to bring it once more to the atten- tion of all other subscribers and Friends. Should you find that you are unable to attend one of the concerts for which you have tickets, the Trustees hope that you will allow others, who cannot obtain tickets for this subscription series, to have the opportunity to hear the Orchestra. You can do this by telephoning Symphony Hall (266-1492), and giving your name and ticket location to the switchboard operator. Your ticket then becomes available for resale, and the income gained is paid to the Pension Fund of the Orchestra. Subscribers who release their tickets for resale will receive a copy of the program of the concert they miss, and written acknowledgment of their gift for their tax records. Those who wish to request tickets for a specific concert should tele- phone Symphony Hall and ask for 'Reservations'. Requests will be attended to in the order in which they are received, and, since the Management has learned by experience how many returned tickets to expect, no reservation will be confirmed unless the caller can be assured of a seat. Tickets ordered in this way may be bought and collected from the box office on the day of the concert two hours before the start of the program. Tickets not claimed half an hour before concert time will be released. Last season the ticket resale and reservation plan helped reduce the Orchestra's deficit by more than $21,900.

  • The Art of Henri Temianka” VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST, CONDUCTOR, AUTHOR and EDUCATOR
    ARSC New York Chapter December 2019 Meeting 7:00 P. M. Thursday, 12/19/2019 →At the CUNY Sonic Arts Center← West 140th Street & Convent Avenue, New York Or enter at 138th Street off Convent Avenue (N.B. not always open) Shepard Hall (the Gothic building) – Recital Hall (Room 95, ground floor) An elevator is located in the center of the building. “The Art of Henri Temianka” VIRTUOSO VIOLINIST, CONDUCTOR, AUTHOR AND EDUCATOR Presented by John Haley As demonstrated by his recordings, Henri (pronounced “Henry”) Temianka (1906-1992) was one of the finest violinists of the 20th Century. Born in Greenock, Scotland of immigrant Polish Jewish parents, he studied violin with Carol Blitz in Rotterdam, Willy Hess in Berlin, Jules Boucherit in Paris, and finally Carl Flesch at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. In 1930, Temianka was in the first Curtis graduating class, earning a double degree in violin and conducting, having studied the latter with Artur Rodzinski. As a violinist he was further influenced by Eugène Ysaӱe, Jacques Thibaud and Bronisław Huberman. Flesch referred to him as possessing “both musically and technically, … a model collection of talents.” After a brilliant debut in New York in 1928 (which Olin Downes described as “one of the finest accomplishments in years”), Temianka returned to Europe and rapidly established himself as one of that era’s foremost concert violinists, appearing with major orchestras in Europe and the U.S. under such conductors as Pierre Monteux, Sir John Barbirolli, Sir Adrian Boult, Fritz Reiner, Sir Henry Wood, George Szell, Otto Klemperer, Dimitri Mitropoulos and William Steinberg.

  • A Ballets Russes Collection, Gathered in London by Boris Yeltsin's Right Arm, Boris Berezovskiy
    SERGE DIAGHILEV AND THE BALLETS RUSSES Including a collection from Boris Berezovsky’s library 32 St. George Street Shapero London W1S 2EA t: +44 20 7493 0876 RARE BOOKS shapero.com Some theatrical performances can be likened to great battles which live on in the memory of peoples. The stories of eye- witnesses, passed on to their children and grandchildren, become legends. Their tremendous, sensational success, which reveals important undercurrents in the life of art, makes them landmarks in the history of the theatre. In the list of such events one can rightfully enter the guest performances of the Russian opera and ballet in Paris, in 1908 and 1909. Repeated in the subsequent years they became known as the Russian Seasons. Their initiator, members of the group “The World of Art” with Alexander Benois at the head, were inspired by the idea of making Russian art better known to the public abroad. They succeeded in winning the support of many progressive artists and intellectuals. The results of their efforts proved to be more tangible, significant and far-reaching than they had ever expected.

  • The Cambridge Companion To: the ORCHESTRA
    The Cambridge Companion to the Orchestra This guide to the orchestra and orchestral life is unique in the breadth of its coverage. It combines orchestral history and orchestral repertory with a practical bias offering critical thought about the past, present and future of the orchestra as a sociological and as an artistic phenomenon. This approach reflects many of the current global discussions about the orchestra’s continued role in a changing society. Other topics discussed include the art of orchestration, score-reading, conductors and conducting, international orchestras, and recording, as well as consideration of what it means to be an orchestral musician, an educator, or an informed listener. Written by experts in the field, the book will be of academic and practical interest to a wide-ranging readership of music historians and professional or amateur musicians as well as an invaluable resource for all those contemplating a career in the performing arts.
