An organization which promises to-
I'LL an important place in Richmond
musical circles has been perfected 1t
is known as the Richmond Orchestral
club, and is primarily an association
OF about thirty orchestral players for
the performance and study of good
orchestral music.
A feature of interest to the general
public is the plan chosen for present
ing the music rehearsed to those who
may be interested. The idea of giving
public concerts was rejected by the
club, because of the expense entailed,
which, in turn would necessitate the
general sale of tickets and the prepa-
ration of programs. Such plan it
was thought by the club, would divert
ali effort into undesirable channels.
Instead the club proposes an associate
membership, called visiting members,
who upon payment of annual dues are
privileged to attend all the functions.
Rehearsals are held every Sunday af-
ternoon, In the Commercial club
rooms from two until four o'clock
Visiting members may attend any re-
hearsal. On the last Sunday of each
month visitors day" will be observed.
At that time the rehearsal will be in
the nature Of a recital.
Although formal organization has
Just been perfected the players have
been rehearstng for several weeks I'M
der Mr. Will Earhart, the director.
The works now being studied are
Schubert's Unfinished Symphony,
Beethoven's Ffdelio Overture Cleo
more No. y and Cherubini's Overture
to Lodoiska Other standard compo-
sitions will be added as rapidly as
possible.
The club represents purely an un-
selfish and progressive musical move
ment on the part of orchestral must
clans. The membership cards for Wis
iting members have been issued. Be-
ginning Monday, October 26, they may
be procured at the Starr Piano par
lors. Any one paying dues is eligible
70 membership. The cards received
by members are not transferable. as
each name is registered in the book of
the club.
At the regular rehearsals none but
active and visiting members are per-
mitted to attend.
The organization hopes to be able to
give an elaborate recital at the close
of the season. There is no doubt in
tans minds OF the promoters but that
the orchestra win be permanent and
self sustaining.
