  • Oklahoma Today Summer 1959 Volume 9 No. 3
    WAR * BASEBALL STARS I - mI OKLAHOMA MUSICIANS LOOK TO GREENLEAF This is one for those hide-bound skeptics who still try to classify the entire Southwest as 'The Great-American Cultural Desert.' Some time back, some mighty important Americans decided the musical life of the American people was in danger. The threat: a serious nation-wide shortage of first class string musicians. They decided the solution was to have an International String Congress-to set up no mere one-day affair of speeches; but really have at it with two months of good basic training for at least fifty of the nation's most gifted young string students. And to bring in great string artists from all over the country for teachers, and to provide this teaching-festival with a really inspiring setting. w So where do you suppose they decided to hold it? In Oklahoma. Specifically, Greenleaf State Park, from June 15 through August 8 this summer. It's really a remarkable story. An Advisory Board including men like Leopold Mh Stokowski, Eugene Ormandy, Leonard Bernstein and Vladimir Golchman (now Advisor to the Tulsa Symphony). Living expenses guaranteed by the American Federation of Musicians. Instruction underwritten by Oklahoma industrialists. Lodging, boarding and recreation provided by the State of Oklahoma and the Greenleaf Lake Festival of Tulsa. And this includes some mighty nice new facilities-30 practice sheds, air conditioned rehearsal rooms, etc.-built for the event on the shores of one of the prettiest lakes in Oklahoma. Oklahomans who recognize this as a really great step in winning recognition for both the culture and the beauty of the Southwest owe thanks to many dedicated souls for this one.
