works of Massenet, his '.Phedra Over
lure" and Scenes Hong to honor
the memory Of the late composer.
The Washington Symphony Orchestra
was founded in 1901 by Reginald De ko-
ven, who was then living in this city.
Under his leadership al gave symphony
concerts annually, and brought on as
s;sting artists such celebrities as Pader-
ewski, Fanny Bloomfield. Zeisler, Bis
pham, Ysaye. FRITZ ScheH and D'Albert.
il continued TO give these concerts Tor
three years until the heavy expenses or
its maintenance made its temporary
withdrawal from active work advisable.
Up to this time il had received support
from a number OF wealthy and we'll
known people, but an endowment fund,
an actual necessity, was not forthcoming.
The orchestra had. however. the SYM
patty and active support OF number
of public spirited people who agreed to
guarantee sufficient funds each year to
enable the orchestra TO resume its active
seasons Notable among them We're Mrs.
Herbert Wadsworth.. William Il. Emo.
Henry Cleveland Perkins. Messrs. Wood
ward & Lothrop and others. With their
assistance il again in the year 1909 gave
a series of successful concerts under the
leadership OF II. c. Rakemann.
The following year the orchestra alb
sorbed the Hammer symphony Orchestra
and under the brilliant leadership of Mr.
Hammer 'one of the leading conductors
Of the present day, it had the most sue
cessfui year of its existence. Last year
its concerts five in number, were again
very successful. but the cost OF the MAIN
tenance of the orchestra was so heavy
that for a while it was feared that il
would have to suspend work during the
season of 1312-l913.
By untiring effort on the part of the
directors, however. the funds sufficient
to enable the orchestra to give this year
its annual series OF concerts have been
by number of public spir-
tied citizens, without whose hearty CO.
operation IL would have been impossible.
These persons and the directors have
taken the view that Washington must
have a symphony orchestra, and i'm time
one of the finest in the world. They
