"Americans and foreigners also have

insisted that singers have the in

such an attitude toward any art has
been a hindrtnc". II has baked
the chances OF young musicians and
II has also created false standards.
"Apropos to this matter, recall

What is a popular concert?

What Is a popular concert?
A popular concert. according to
wfllem van Hoogstrsten. the Dutch
Orchestra In the final three weeks
OF the Stadium Concerts in New
York this summer, Is a concert at
which the best works OF the great
masters are performed. Mr., van
Hoogstraten says:
There Is a tradition that So

are hungry for the best, and the
greatest service that those who give
concerts for the people can do Is to
give them the best.
THE Stadium Concerts, | think,
are ample proof. For six weeks last
summer there was an average nightly
attendance of from three TO four
thousand. II was an audience de-
rived from many sources and repre-
genting virtually all of the nationali.
ties to be found in the city. And il
was drawn for the most part from
those in moderate circumstances. 1t
was not what one would call a
wealthy audience. The enthusiasm
of these people and the growth OF
attendance during the four years of
Stadium Concerts point to Il Snitc
conclusion: That IL the people are
provided with the opportunity to
hear good music at moderate cost.
