With John Lindquist photography is a hobby. " From nine in the morning until five-thirty in the afternoon," writes George Whiting Seaton, " he is the complete cashier (for one of Boston's largest department stores), but from five-thirty in the afternoon until he is forced into bed, and during all his vaca- tions and week-ends, his time is de- voted to photography." He first be- came interested in dance photography while on a week-end trip to the Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts at Tanglewood in 1939, visiting Jacob's Pillow to see the Shawn Dancers be- fore the concert. Invited by Ted Shawn to a special dance performance, he did photographs which were so successful TAKE he was invited to spend his vacation DOUBLE at the Pillow. Here he took several A. photogenic dress of thousand shots — and he has been doing fine rayon sheer for Sum- dance pictures ever since.

John Dary Aiken is an instructor in Applied Design, Mechanical Drawing Misses' Sizes, 29.90 and Puppetry at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy, and instructor in drawing and painting at the Browne and Nichols School in Cambridge. A graduate of the Vesper George School of Art, he has studied with Elliot O'Hara. For two seasons he designed [ mi ] - stage settings at the Copley Theater in m wWesUyfoo Boston and the Surray Theater in Maine. He has exhibited his water- colors in Bar Harbor, Newport, the Pennsylvania Academy of Design, the Gloucester Society of Artists and the Wellesley Society of Artists. His first one man show was at the English Book- aW*, shop in New York in 1936. His first show in Boston was at the Grace Home Galleries in 1937. His paintings were shown in the Gallery in Symphony Hall in April, 1942. Mr. Aiken has been teaching at the Boston School of Occupational Therapy for the last five years. His work there is a direct contribution to the war effort, for it is imperative that many occupa- tional therapists be prepared for serv- ice in Army and Navy hospitals. Occu- coiff 1 Will pational therapists use as media of treatment social, recreational, and edu- cational pursuits. They are trained to carry out therapeutic techniques under direct medical supervision. While aae#*fi«| knowledge of manual arts is only part Wixma 1 of the technique of a modern occupa- tional therapist, a basic understanding of the working processes of line, form and color in design and esthetic appre- ciation is essential in this remedial profession. The following water-colors by Mr. Aiken are included in this exhibit: 1. " Vermont Winter " (Loaned by Mr. and Mrs. John S. Smyth) " 2. " Summer Sea " 3. " Air Raid " 4. " Thames Barges " 5.

The members of the Orchestra, on C(<£STA BLANCA their own initiative, organized and per- formed various concerts for service men. On three Sundays during the season the full Orchestra with Dr. Kousse- vitzky gave concerts in Symphony Hall, free of charge, for men and women in uniform with their escorts. At other times, and supplementary to the usual winter schedule, groups of Boston Symphony players have visited five of the training camps within travel- ing distance of Boston to give concerts.

  • Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21
    Any time Joshua Bell makes an appearance, it’s guaranteed to be impressive! I can’t wait to hear him perform the monumental Brahms Violin Concerto alongside some fireworks for the orchestra. It’s a don’t-miss evening! EMILY GLOVER, NCS VIOLIN Le Corsaire Overture, Op. 21 HECTOR BERLIOZ BORN December 11, 1803, in Côte-Saint-André, France; died March 8, 1869, in Paris PREMIERE Composed 1844, revised before 1852; first performance January 19, 1845, in Paris, conducted by the composer OVERVIEW The Random House Dictionary defines “corsair” both as “a pirate” and as “a ship used for piracy.” Berlioz encountered one of the former on a wild, stormy sea voyage in 1831 from Marseilles to Livorno, on his way to install himself in Rome as winner of the Prix de Rome. The grizzled old buccaneer claimed to be a Venetian seaman who had piloted the ship of Lord Byron during the poet’s adventures in the Adriatic and the Greek archipelago, and his fantastic tales helped the young composer keep his mind off the danger aboard the tossing vessel. They landed safely, but the experience of that storm and the image of Lord Byron painted by the corsair stayed with him. When Berlioz arrived in Rome, he immersed himself in Byron’s poem The Corsair, reading much of it in, of all places, St. Peter’s Basilica. “During the fierce summer heat I spent whole days there ... drinking in that burning poetry,” he wrote in his Memoirs. It was also at that time that word reached him that his fiancée in Paris, Camile Moke, had thrown him over in favor of another suitor.

  • Amalie Joachim's 1892 American Tour
    Volume XXXV, Number 1 Spring 2017 Amalie Joachim’s 1892 American Tour By the 1890s, American audiences had grown accustomed to the tours of major European artists, and the successes of Jenny Lind and Anton Rubinstein created high expectations for the performers who came after them.
