BSO Farewell and Thanks Following this week's concerts, Paul Fried leaves the Boston Symphony Orchestra to become co-principal flute of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Mr. Fried joined the Boston Symphony Orchestra as assistant principal flute in 1970. We wish him well for this new phase of his career. 'Presidents at Pops" 1983 "72 and growing," said BSO Overseer Harvey Chet Krentzman, general chairman for the 21 June 1983 "Presidents at Pops" gala fundraiser for the BSO. That's the number of participating company sponsors who have subscribed to the event as of 15 October. "We are out to top last year, when more than $405,000 was raised," continued Krentzman. "This program endeavors to develop closer communication between the business com- munity and the Symphony, broaden the base of corporate support, and create a fun and entertaining evening." Co-chairmen Vincent O'Reilly and Malcolm Sherman, and a committee of more than 100 BSO Trustees, BSO Overseers, and members of the business community, are making a special effort to ensure a sell-out and to secure advertising for the special program book. Plans are being formulated for an even more spectacular evening than last year's. Sponsor packages at $3,000 include ten table seats and ten balcony seats to the concert on 21 June, plus two tickets for the Presidents Dinner to be held this year on 9 May at Symphony Hall. Program book advertising is priced at $1,000 per full page, $500 per half- page, and $250 per quarter-page. For further information, please contact Eric Sanders, Director of Corporate Development, Development Office, Symphony Hall, Boston, MA 02115, or telephone (617) 266-1492. Share the BSO With the Kids!
