The fourteenth annual BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon achieved a total of $332,907 for the sixty-hour fundraising event, surpassing its goal of $325,000 at 11:45 p.m. on Sunday night, 1 April, to the sound of a trumpet fanfare. "We are thrilled with the exciting results of this year's Musical Marathon," commented Marathon Chairman Mrs. Michael Davis. "Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who pledged and to the many donors and hundreds of volunteers who paved the way for the Marathon's fantastic success. And, of course, we're deeply grateful to WCRB-FM and WCVB-TV, without whom there would be no Musical Marathon at all." The Marathon is the most important public fundraising activity benefiting the Boston Symphony and the Boston Pops. Since its inception in 1970, the BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon has raised more than $2 million. WCRB-102.5-FM, hosted by its Vice-President Richard L. Kaye, once again contributed non-stop radio coverage beginning 9 a.m. Friday, 30 March and continuing through Sunday evening until midnight. WCVB-TV- Channel 5 carried a 2 1/i>-hour telecast live from Symphony Hall on Sunday from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., featuring the Boston Symphony under Sir Colin Davis, the Boston Pops under John Williams, and numerous guest celebrities. Among the many thousand pledges, the highest contributor was the Concord Area Council of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which purchased an evening with the Empire Brass Quintet for $5,000. Sue S. Watson of Lexington gave her husband the opportunity to conduct the Boston Pops in "The Stars and Stripes Forever," a $3,000 premium. In congratulating Mrs. Davis and the more than 400 volunteers who worked on the BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon, BSO General Manager Thomas W Morris called the three-day event a triumph of "generosity, imagination, talent, and tireless effort." 1984-85 BSO Subscription Information Complete program and ticket information is now available for the Boston Symphony Orchestra's 1984-85 subscription season.
