THE WAYS TO AID THE ARTS ARE MANY Federal With the President's signing into law the new Federal AID-TO-THE ARTS BILL, authorizing the government to spend $21 million annually for the next three years on grants and subsidies, the recently created National Endowment and National Foundation for the Arts and Humanitites has received its working capital. (For details of the functions of both organizations, see page 6 in the March 1965 Bulletin). The President mentioned the various groups that will benefit by the Federal aid; e.g. opera, repertory theatre, ballet companies, symphony orchestras, film institutes, as well as indi- vidual artists through commissions,and college and universities through residence grants.

Another confirmation of the President's and the First Lady's interest in the support of the Arts was the all-day ARTS FESTIVAL held at the WHITE HOUSE in June. Not only did it serve to bring together some 500 leaders representing all phases of the arts from all over the country, but through its extensive press coverage, also brought a renewed awareness of the

COS BULLETIN 9-10/65 -3-

the interest and enthusiasm of the country's cultural leaders to all its citizens. *******

National Following close on the heels of this distinguished marathon, the National Conference of the ARTS COUNCILS OF AMERICA was held in Washington. (Details on the ACA can be found on page 5 of the March 1965 Bulletin). Major discussion concentrated on the ways and means of forming a State Council and of obtaining legislative approval. -The ACA has established national headquarters in New York, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, Room 4100, and has appointed Mr. Ralph Burgard, formerly executive director of the St. Paul Council of the Arts and director of the American Symphony Orchestra League, to the newly created post of executive director. The ACA offers its members a news bulletin incorporated into the American Symphony Orchestra League's Newsletter. It also prepares special reports on governmental programs, e.g. National Endowment of the Arts, Elementary and Secondary Education Acts of the Office of Education, etc. and interprets their significance to arts councils and performing groups. Minimum membership dues for the Council are $25 and vary according to individual councils f budgets; non-profit organizations other than arts Councils pay $25 annually. *******

State THE MISSOURI COUNCIL ON THE ARTS, signed into law by Governor Warren Hearnes in June, held its first meeting in September. The 15 Council members , appointed by the Govanor, heard reports on operational plans from its working committees on 1. Education, 2. Music, 3. Opera, 4. Theatre, 5. Visual Arts; the formation of advisory committees on Architecture and on the Art of Film was also discussed. The next day Howard Adams, Chairman, announced the Council's first sponsorship, a guest performance by the Kansas City Lyric Opera Company of "" in Chillicothe. THE NEW YORK STATE ARTS COUNCIL is branching out further in its artistic programs and has added "instructional performances" in music, dance and the theatre. Especially designed for assistance to those areas in N.Y. State that have few professional performances, lecture-demonstrations by professional performing artists will be presented at schools, colleges, community groups and workshops. As in most other Council-sponsored pro- grams, support will be partial, supplementing locally raised funds. Other programs include a part-sponsorship of operatic tour-performances and a special grant for "technical assistance". This assistance provides the presence of the stage designer for those opera groups who-exchange sets and costumes. The designer instructs local stagehands in setting up the scenery, refitting the costumes, etc.

The New York State Council has also assisted in the formation of the NEW YORK STATE OPERA LEAGUE, an organization which is successfully promoting cooperation and exchange programs among its members. Within the last year it was decided that the League had come "of age" and the Council is no longer part of the League's board. Advice and aid from the State Council is still available to individual groups; applications are judged on the merits of each request. ******* COS BULLETIN 9-10/65 -4- Local The Los Angeles Music Center has a new patron in the form of the recently established PERFORMING ARTS COUNCIL. Mrs. Dorothy Chandler, president of the Council, announced that the organization will finance the center's resident companies, -the Los Angeles Opera Company, Los Angeles Civic Light Opera Company, Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The Council will also select resident companies in the fields of theatre, ballet and chamber music, and hopes to commission new works, initiate training programs, expand educational programs and add a theatre for children. - The Pavilion, the Center's first building which opened last season, will be complemented by two more structures, the Mark Taper Forum and the Center Theatre, to be completed in 1967. New York's "music street", West 57th Street, boasts a new CULTURAL INFOR- MATION CENTER. Believed to be the first of its kind on a permanent basis, the Center was opened by Mayor Wagner and New York's Cultural Executive, Robert Dowling, in June. The office at 148 West 57th Street (phone JUdson 2-5555), has schedules and programs of cultural activities and entertain- ment in for the visitor as well as for the native. Attention performing companies. Do not fail to inform the Center of your productions, and if possible, supply programs and ticket information.

(The first opera is to be presented during the 1967-68 season.) While these will be new productions, the first performance of each of the four operas will be given in Salzburg at the preceding Easter Festival - an innovation of Mr. von Karajan's scheduled to start in the Spring of 1967. Two sets of scenery will be built, one in Salzburg, one in New York, both following the same design; major roles will be sung in both places by the same singers. The Berlin Philharmonic will play in Salzburg while the Met's own orchestra will be in the pit at Lincoln Center.

The CENTER OPERA COMPANY in Minneapolis has added an opera workshop, the first in that area not affiliated with any college or university. The staff engaged to work with the young singers include stage directors of the Center Opera Company as well as of theGuthrie Theatre, tWo music directors and two movement coaches. It is hoped that some of the more successful students in the workshop will fill roles in productions of the mother company.

COS BULLETIN 9-10/65 -5-

Apprentiee prog rams attached to summer festivals have proven to be very successful. The COMPANY'S program just completed its 6th season and the LAKE GEORGE OPERA FESTIVAL continued its program, initiated in 1964. - The SARATOGA SPRINGS (N.Y.) SUMMER FESTIVAL, which will open in July 1966 hopes to coordinate, music and art summer courses with Skidmore College. ******* San Francisco's OPERA WEST FOUNDATION has merged with the resident Gilbert and Sullivan repertory company, THE LAMPLIGHTERS.

CANADA CORNER During the summer,settlement was reached between the UNION DES ARTISTES and ACTOR'S EQUITY regarding performers appearing at Montreal's Place des Arts. Equity will retain jurisdiction over performers and attractions of the "English milieu" while the Union will have the same jurisdiction over performers and attractions of the "French milieu". All AGMA members are included in the Equity agreement. *******

The Faculty of Music of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO announced the establish- ment of a "Bachelor of Music in Performance" degree. This four-year course is offered to especially gifted singers and instrumentalists preparing for a professional career. Eligible are students holding an Ontario Secondary School Graduation Diploma (Grade XII) or equivalent. Applications should be addressed to: The Secretary, Faculty of Music, Edward Johnson Bldg., University of Toronto, Toronto 5, Ontario.

NEW AND REBUILT STAGES FOR MUSIC MAKING Much of the music heard this summer in New York was presented in shells designed and built by Stagecraft Corp. of Connecticut. The newest design presented to New York audiences was the glass fiber shell at the park concerts. Avoiding installation of three different saells in the three boroughs where the Philharmonic was scheduled to play, Stage- craft designed a transportable shell. Divided into four sections, each section is permanently attached to its own trailer, which also houses all; technical equipment, lights, amplification, etc. The trailers are backed up next to each other and the she 11,lifted by hydraulic equipment, is assembled within a few hours and ready to receive the orchestra. The problem of soft ground has been solved by placing each nine-ton section on "grass pods" - steel structures that spread the weight evenly. An un- even or rolling meadow, however, has to be leveled before assembling the shell. Stagecraft is also responsible for the new shell and amplification equipment used by the METROPOLITAN OPERA at Lewisohn Stadium in the past summer.

*******

COS BULLETIN, 9-10/65 -6- Eggeis and Higgins are the architects who have won the New York City Art Commission's approval for their design of a bandshell to be erected in Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center. Shaped like a spiralling onion cut in half, it will shelter an elliptical stage accoraodating about 75 musicians. The paved and landscaped area in front of the shell will provide seating for 4,500 people. The shell was made possible through a $500,000,gift from the Guggerfieim Foundation and will be known as the FLORENCE AND DANIEL GUGGEIM2IM BANDSHELL. *******

The famous white and orange music tent in Aspen, Colorado, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1949 as a temporary home for the FESTIVAL, has been re- placed this year by a more solid structure. The new design- by Aspen architect, Herbert Bayer, retains some of the features of the original tent; for example, the wide, white canvas roof, which made it a landmark for Aspen, and the wooden benches forming a semi-circle around the stage. There is, however, a cement base and stage (the latter sporting a wooden canopy for acoustical purposes), and the ropes of the tent have been replaced by wire cables and metal fasteners. The all-over size and seating capacity also have been enlarged. *******

Music Fair Enterprises Inc., who has been booking attractions at the Westbury (Long Island, N.Y.) MUSIC FAIR tent will assist in the financing of a per- manent structure to be erected this year at Westbury. Two more theatres will be built by the company during the next two years, one in the suburbs of Baltimore and another outside Washington, D. C. The Westbury tent ••': allowed for a season of 13 weeks while the new building will facilitate all-year occupancy. Herman Hassinger and Gerald Schwam, the architects, collaborate with Jules Fisher (lights and stage design), and Michael Koderas (acoustician) on the new building. The auditorium is convertable in eight hours from a 3,000-seat arena theater to a proscenium theater seating 1,000, or to a three-quarters arena with a thrust stage and with a seating capacity of 1,500. *******

One of America's major music festival groups, the SANTA FE OPERA COMPANY, has made some sweeping improvements in its theatre. It was opened to a larger audience, partially sheltered from possible rain, and new technical facilities were added. The theatre originally accomodated 480 people; now after the fourth expansion, it has a seating capacity of 1,153. Santa Fe's own architects, McHugh and Hooker, designed the newly added balcony and cantilevered roof which covers about half the seating area; enough standing room is available in the rear of the auditorium to allow those exposed to possible showers to take quick refuge. The orchestra pit was enlarged and now holds up to seventy-five musicians who are sheltered under the newly extended stage roof. Adding a new baffle to this roof further improved the acoustics and also permitted a new Kliegl light system to be installed. A closed foyer was also added.

While winters or springs are used for the rebuilding of summer centers, the short summer recess at New York PHILHARMONIC HALL was used to make further improvements. Audiences, critics, and musicians agree that the acoustics are incomparably better. In the process the looks of the hall have under- gone drastic changes. While the overhead clouds were lifted and fused to- gether last year, and the back and sides of the stage were filled in to serve as a sounding board or a shell, now, the walls of the auditorium have been covered with wavy, sound-reflecting wood panelling, the gold carpeting replaced by black vinyl, and the gold plush seats have been stripped of some padding and recovered in apricot velour. H. Keilholz supervised the changes.

The existing structure will be rebuilt to accomodate a college enrollment of 1,000 (candidates for Bachelor or Master's degree). Since Juilliard will discontinue its preparatory de- partment when it moves to Lincoln Center, the Manhattan School expects an increased number of applicants at that level. - Albuquerque, N.M.,is building a Fine Arts Center which will become part of the UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO. The university's music department recently moved into the partially finished Center, where it has been allotted teaching studios and rehearsal rooms and has at its disposal an extensive music library and the newest in audio equipment. The 2,000-seat auditorium, equipped to present; opera as well as concerts, will be ready for use in the Fall of 1966; a 325-seat recital and chamber music hall is already in use.

Sidney, Australia, started work on its new Opera House, designed by Danish architect, Joern Utzon,in 1959, and completion is estimated for 1969. The structure, which is of most unusual design, is topped by what appears to be large, billowing sails made of concrete. It is this part of the building which poses some severe constructional (and financial) problems, requiring computors and handcrafted parts. Situated on Bennelong Point, the $55 million building will house the opera auditorium seating 2,800, two concert halls with 1,100 and 300 seats respectively, a theatre and restaurants. The orchestra seats in the opera house will be on a n inclining plane, the rear of the orchestra reaching balcony height. $6.5 million have.been raised towards the building costs by a special lottery.
