ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR FILENE CHARGE BSO BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon Preview Party Even before this year's BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon weekend of 11, 12, and 13 March, Symphony Hall will ring with music and excitement on Tuesday, 1 March when the gala Marathon Preview Party takes place. There will be complimentary champagne, music, a cash bar, and a cocktail buffet. The focal point of the evening is set for 7: 15 p.m., when John Marion of Sotheby Parke Bernet will be the auctioneer on stage in Symphony Hall to offer a group of very special Marathon premiums, with Dick Flavin doing the introductions. The premiums cover a very wide range, from a new Baldwin spinet piano to a sixteen-foot touring canoe, Symphony Hall memorabilia (including a set of doors from the Huntington Avenue entrance!), signed posters, a twelve-foot Mollie Brown sailboat, and the twenty-volume Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Tickets for the party are $12.50 and can be obtained by calling the Marathon Office at (617) 266-1492, ext. 230. BSO and Pops Recording Honors The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has presented its annual Golden Globe Award in the category of Best Original Musical Score to John Williams for his film score for "E.T (the Extra-Terrestrial)." Mr. Williams has also been nominated for four Grammy awards for the same score, in the categories of Best Album of an Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special, Best Instrumental Composition (the "Flying Theme"), Best Arrangement (again for the "Flying Theme"), and Best Pop Instrumental Performance. Two Boston Symphony recordings have been nominated for Grammy awards in the category of Best Classical Performance by an Instrumental Soloist or Soloists with Orchestra: pianist Rudolf Serkin has been nominated for his performance of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto with Seiji Ozawa and the BSO on Telarc, and concertmaster Joseph Silverstein has been nominated for his performance in Vivaldi's Pour Seasons also under the direction of Seiji Ozawa on Telarc. Gelbloom Scholarship Fund Concert A gala concert will be held on Friday, 4 March 1983 at 8 p.m. at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge to benefit the Gerald Gelbloom Scholarship Fund. Gerald Gelbloom was a violinist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops for twenty-one years until his unexpected death last June. Featured will be performances by Joseph Silverstein, Roman Totenberg, and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in music by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Beethoven. The performance will be followed by a wine-tasting and a reception. Tickets for this gala may be obtained by sending a tax- deductible contribution of $50 to the Gerald Gelbloom Scholarship Fund, Development Office, Symphony Hall, Boston, MA 02115. Silverstein Named to Utah Symphony Post The Board of the Utah Symphony has recently announced the appointment of BSO concertmaster Joseph Silverstein as artistic director of that orchestra effective 29 August 1983. The one-year appointment, which will not affect his BSO commitments for 1983-84, is renewable upon mutual consent, with the possibility that Silverstein will be named music director of the Utah Symphony beginning with the 1984-85 season. Silverstein has been a member of the BSO since 1955; he became concertmaster in 1962 and was named assistant conductor in 1971. He is also first violinist and music director of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, chairman of the faculty of the Berkshire Music Center, and adjunct professor of music at Boston University. He also serves as music director of the Worcester Symphony and as principal guest conductor of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. 'A Walk Through the Ages' The Junior Council of the Boston Symphony Orchestra will present a special benefit program, "A Walk Through the Ages," featuring four BSO horn players: Daniel Katzen, Roger Kaza, Richard Sebring, and Jay Wadenpfuhl. This program, ranging from Renais- sance to modern music, and including works by Palestrina, Bach, Reicha, Hindemith, and Lowell Shaw, will be presented at the Harvard Club, 374 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston on Sunday, 27 February at 4:30 p.m. The musicians will comment briefly on the music being performed. Wine and cheese will be served. Tickets to this benefit concert are $25 (of which $15 is tax-deductible) or $10 for regular admission. All proceeds benefit the Boston Symphony Orchestra. For further information or reservations, please call the Junior Council at Symphony Hall, (617) 266-1492.
