ORCHESTRAL ROLL OF HONOR The Boston Symphony Orchestra has been fortunate in the long and valued service of five members, retired at the end of the past season, who have been with us for twenty-five years or more. They are Charles van Wynbergen, viola, who joined the Orchestra in 1910, Sieg- fried Gerhardt, viola (1919), Henri Erkelens, violin (1920), John Murray, violin (1920), Elford Caughey, harp (1925). FRIDAY AND SATURDAY CONCERTS ON WGBH (FM) The Boston Symphony Orchestra is proud to be a participant in a new, non- commercial educational FM radio sta- tion, which will be operated with the advice and cooperation of the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council. The station, installed in Sym- phony Hall, is equipped to broadcast complete symphony concerts, together with daily programs of academic in- terest. Station WGBH will give its inaugural broadcast this Saturday, October 6, when the first evening concert of the season will be on the air, entire.

With a power of 20,000 watts, WGBH will operate at 89.7 megacycles in the FM band, on Channel 209. Extends to the FM listeners of Greater Boston who are already blessed with daily programs exclusively of the best music from Sta- tion WXHR, music in generous quan- tities from the non-commercial WBUR, and the nightly "Evening Concert" from Boston WCOP (with a "Preview" of the sym- phony program on Thursdays) may now add to their abundance live Boston Symphony Symphony concerts. In no other city of the United States (except possibly New York) are there comparable musical op- Orchestra portunities. With excellent FM sets purchasable at a low price and FM included in some television sets, it is to be expected that many thousands of music lovers will be quick to take ad- vantage of this new and unprecedented our sincerest wish development.

[7] ST I JULN S h^ dramatizes the timelessness, the flattery of the fitted wool coat. R. H. STEARNS CO. Boston • Chestnut Hill [8] KOUSSEVITZKY (Editorial in the Boston Globe, June 6, 1951.) What this community owes to him is immeasurable. But exactly the same can be said of the greater community of America and Europe which he served with his music-making through his long life- time from early youth up until nearly the end of his 77th year, for that would have been his age on the 26th of July. Such is the common debt of mortality, but what we have to consider is our debt to his immortality. For it was in that greater world that he chiefly lived. His career, however briefly recited, is fabulous; his rise from obscurity to fame as a virtuoso performer on the double bass, his early adventures as conductor of an orchestra on a steamboat cruising the Volga and bringing music to the people — his life-long passion.

Boris Goldovsky and Arthur Schoep Settings & Lighting by ... Aristides Gazetas Costumes by Leo Van Witsen lillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NOTE ON THE TANGLEWOOD PRODUCTION In the present production (which is very likely the first in the western hemisphere) all the orchestrally accompanied numbers will be heard in the original form and in the order given in Paisiello's original manuscript, a microfilm of which could fortunately be obtained from the composer's native city of Naples. The only major change is the substitution of spoken dialogue for the secco recitatives of the original version. The uninspired sequence of harmonies in these recitatives creates a strong suspicion that these sections of the score had been entrusted to one of Paisiello's pupils, a common practice in the eighteenth century when composers were expected to fashion full-length works on extremely short notice. Paisiello's score has many features of extraordinary interest. Especially remarkable are the two extended finales, the one to the first act being a worthy precursor of the great second-act finale of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. In this connection it is worth mentioning that Mozart was present at the first performance of King Theodore in Venice in Vienna and was obviously greatly impressed by the work.

Eugene List, Mischa El man and William Kroll, soloists of this Berk- shire Festival, use the Steinway. Significantly enough, the younger artists, the Masters of tomorrow, entrust their future to this world-famous piano — they cannot afford otherwise to en- danger their artistic careers.

    A Pictoral History of the Boston Music Hall and the Great Organ

    A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE BOSTON MUSIC HALL AND THE GREAT ORGAN by Ed Sampson, President, Methuen Memorial Music Hall, Inc. 2018 Few instruments in the history of pipe organs in America have had as long, or as distinguished, a career as the Boston Music Hall Organ. The first concert organ in the country, it remains today one of the outstanding organs in America. The need for a large and centrally-located concert hall for Boston was discussed at the annual meeting of the Harvard Musical Association, founded in 1837 (Henry White Pickering (1811-1898), President) on January 31, 1851. A "Music Hall Committee", comprised of members Robert East Apthorp (1812-1882), George Derby (1819-1874), John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893), Charles Callahan Perkins (1822-1886), and Dr. Jabez Baxter Upham (1820- 1902), was appointed to address the matter. The Boston Music Hall was built in 1852 by the Boston Music-Hall Association, founded in 1851 (Jabez Baxter Upham, President) and by the Harvard Musical Association, that contributed $100,000 towards its construction. It stood in the center of a block that sloped downward from Tremont Street to Washington Street; and was between Winter Street on the south and Bromfield Street on the north. Almost entirely surrounded by other buildings, only glimpses of the hall's massive granite block foundation and plain brick walls could be seen. There were two entrances to the Music Hall: the Bumstead Place entrance, (named after Thomas Bumstead (1740-1828) a Boston coachmaker), off Tremont Street (later Hamilton Place) opposite the Park Street Church; 1 and the Central Place or Winter Place (later Music Hall Place) entrance off Winter Street.
