Few Iaymen stop to consider that
an orchestra Is assembled to create
through the medium of melody and
harmonics the same effects that are
achieved by actors on the stage or
upon the screen Yet such is the
case. In the string basses and among
the bass woodwinds are the trage-
dians, the deep-toned enunciators Of
all that is sinister and tragic; the
nrst clarinet is known among all
schooled orchestra men as "the
prima donna Of the orchestral the
bassoon, as 'the comedian" and so on.
1t is in the skillful selection and
balance of these choirs that the con-
ductor finds his most difficlt task.
1t is sometimes necessary to expert
ment for months before a satisfactory
combination is secured-just as casts
for articulate drama frequently have
TO be changed and then changeo
again before the proper effect is at
tained.
y. Mirskey. conductor OF the
newly organized symphony orches-
ira OF thirty solo artists at Crandall's
Metropolitan Theater. has been par
ticularly fortunate in this regard.
Around a group OF individual soloists
he has gathered an ensemble OF art
lists that round out into a magnifi-
Gently full-toned playing unit an or
Eanization that Washington music
lovers have been quick to recognize
as one OF the Capitals finest orches-
tras.
Mr.. Mirskey's success in choosing
his men was not accidental, but
rather born OF long experience as a
conductor. and an especially compre-
henSive musical education which was
eonsummated in his graduation from
the Warsaw Conservatory, OF which
Paderewski was an active director.
with the degree Of bachelor Of music.
For his assistant concert master, Mr..
htrskey chose G. z. Benedict, vio-
linist OF perfect technic, splendid tone
and thorough schooling in the fore
