BSO Art Exhibits in the Cabot-Cahners Room Once again this season, monthly art exhibitions will be shown in the Cabot-Cahners Room, representing a variety of Boston-area schools, museums, non-profit artists' organi- zations, and commercial galleries. Artwork from the PuckerSafrai Gallery was on display during the month of November. The following organizations will be represented during the next several months: 30 November—4 January Bela Kalman Photo Gallery 4 January— 1 February Helen Schlien Gallery 1 February— 1 March Kezar Gallery 1 March—22 March Experimental Etching Studio 22 March— 12 April Boston Architectural Center With Thanks We wish to give special thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities for their continued support of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Junior Council Memberships The Junior Council is a group of young men and women who undertake a variety of fundraising activities on behalf of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, including "Opening Night at Pops" and sale of the Symphony Mint. New members are admitted in September, January, and May. Membership inquiries are most welcome and should be directed to the membership chairman, Mrs. Kenneth Steiner, at 237-2492. Gift Planning There are many ways to make a contribution to the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Outright gifts of securities and cash are popular choices, yet non-income producing gifts such as real estate, antiques, insurance policies, or jewelry can provide valuable income for the Symphony and a healthy tax deduction for the donor. A brochure explaining various options for Life Income Gifts that benefit both the BSO and the donor is now available. To obtain a copy, or for further information, please contact the Development Office, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Hall, Boston, MA 021 15, telephone (617) 266-1492. Symphony Hall Tours Guided tours of Symphony Hall are available weekdays from 1 October until the end of the Pops season in mid-July The tours will be conducted for a minimum of ten and a maximum of fifty people, and groups must reconfirm 24 hours ahead of their date by calling the Friends' Office at 266-1348. Dates may be reserved by writing to Symphony Hall Tours, Friends' Office, Symphony Hall, Boston, MA 021 15. A LETTER TO RHODE ISLAND FRIENDS AND SUBSCRIBERS "Next to Excellence is the Appreciation of It" —William Makepeace Thackeray The Rhode Island Council of Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra invites you to join them in support of the orchestra. Membership as a Friend requires a minimum annual donation of only $25, which is tax-deductible. As a Friend, you will receive the orchestra's bi-monthly BSO newsletter, an invitation to the Annual Meeting and the Boston Pops Concert Rehearsal, and the opportunity to participate in all activities sponsored by the Friends both in Providence and in Boston. Most important, you will add your own support to this wonderful orchestra. Again this year, we are enjoying "Preludes," the pre-concert dinners held at the Turks Head Club in Providence. These dinners include programs featuring noted members of the Providence and Boston musical community. Our group has sponsored a bus trip to Boston for an evening rehearsal of the orchestra, and we hope to have more such trips in the near future. Earlier this month, the Friends gathered for a special presentation of the film "Love of Life," the well-known Arthur Rubinstein biography. This was preceded by a gala brunch at the Music Mansion in Providence. As you can see, we are an active group of people who enjoy being together and sharing in varied musical activities. Our next "Prelude" dinner will be the evening of Tuesday, 12 January, before the second Providence concert. We would be very happy to have you join us and to add your name to our growing list of members. Judith C. Bertozzi Eleanor A.
