The Boston Symphony Orchestra and "The Revolution of Expression," 1911- 13 "The Revolution of Expression" celebrates artistic achievements around the world between the years 1911 and 1913. To mark this celebration, the Boston Symphony Orchestra Archives has mounted an historical display in the Cohen Wing lobby. Using photographs, letters, programs, and other historical documents preserved in the Archives, the exhibit explores the BSO between the years 1911 and 1913 and the orchestra's performances of important works composed during those years. In the photograph above, Pierre Monteux, music director of the BSO from 1919 to 1924, is shown with the score for Igor Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring). Monteux conducted the first performance of the ballet production by Diaghilev's Ballet Russe at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris on May 29, 1913. 1 OPEN HOUSE 1 * SuSttA*" KV&&0*0&**' • Musical Performances • Tours of Historic Symphony Hall • Performances on Symphony Hall's Famous Organ • Meet Conductors and Musicians • Win BSO Tickets at the NYNEX Booth • A Live WCRB 1025 FM Broadcast • Refreshments Available for Purchase The Symphony Hall Open House is part of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's weekend-long "Salute to Symphony^ which will take place April 10-13.

    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID DAME JOAN HILDA HOOD HAMMOND (1912-1996) PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA JULY 2018 Dame Joan Hilda Hood Hammond, DBE, CMG (24 May 1912 – 26 November 1996) was a New Zealand born Australian operatic soprano, singing coach and champion golfer. She toured widely, and became noted particularly for her Puccini roles, and appeared in the major opera houses of the world – the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, La Scala, the Vienna State Opera and the Bolshoi.

A prolific artist, Hammond's repertoire encompassed Verdi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, Beethoven, as well as folk song, art song, and lieder. She returned to Australia for concert tours in 1946, 1949 and 1953, and starred in the second Elizabethan Theatre Trust opera season in 1957. She undertook world concert tours between 1946 and 1961. She became patron and a life member of the Victorian Opera Company (since 1976, the Victorian State Opera – VSO), and was the VSO's artistic director from 1971 until 1976 and remained on the board until 1985. Working with the then General Manager, Peter Burch, she invited the young conductor Richard Divall to become the company's Musical Director in 1972. She joined the Victorian Council of the Arts, was a member of the Australia Council for the Arts opera advisory panel, and was an Honorary Life Member of Opera Australia. She was important to the success of both the VSO and Opera Australia. Hammond embarked on a second career as a voice teacher after her performance career ended.
