ENJOY THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR FILENE CHARGE BSO Earl Kim Receives Horblit Award from the BSO The Boston Symphony Orchestra has awarded Earl Kim the Mark M. Horblit Award for distinguished composition by an American composer. This prestigious award, consisting of a cash prize of $5,000, has been presented only fifteen times previously since its incep- tion in 1947; past recipients have included Aaron Copland, Walter Piston, Leonard Bernstein, Gunther Schuller, Roger Sessions, and, most recently, in 1980, William Schu- man. The Horblit Award was established by the late Boston attorney Mark M. Horblit "to foster and promote the writing of symphonic compositions by composers resident in the United States... in recognition of meritorious work in that field," in Horblit's own words. The Award Committee includes BSO Music Director Seiji Ozawa BSO Board President ; Darling, and Christoph Wolff, Chairman of the Harvard University Music Nelson J. Jr. ; Department. "This is a great honor," responded Kim, when notified of the award last week. "I'm happy to accept this award. I'm looking forward to working with the Boston Symphony, Seiji Ozawa, and the extraordinary violinist Itzhak Perlman." The concert version of Earl Kim's multi-media Exercises en Route will be featured on the Boston Symphony Chamber Players' program this Sunday afternoon, 6 March at 4 p.m. in Jordan Hall.

This is the thirteenth annual BSO/WCRB Musical Marathon, sponsored by the Council of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the BSO's major volunteer fundraising group, and WCRB-102.5-FM. Next weekend will bring three days of round-the-clock broadcasting anchored and produced by WCRB's Richard L. Kaye.

Co-hosts include William Pierce, the "radio voice" of the BSO Robert Conrad, the voice of the Cleveland Orchestra; ; and WCRB personalities Dave MacNeill, Dave Tucker, Peter Ross, and Janice Gray. WCRB-102.5-FM will broadcast the entire event live from Symphony Hall and Quincy Market, where a Musical Marathon Pledge Booth will be located in the Quincy Market rotunda at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and where a series of jazz and classical perform- ances and appearances by special guest celebrities will take place. A highlight of this year's Marathon will be a live televised performance featuring the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Seiji Ozawa, Music Director, and the Boston Pops, John Williams, Conductor, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on WCVB-TV-Channel 5.
