concertmaster is Michel Gusikoff, an
American violinist, formerly first
violinist of the st. Louis Orchestra, a
pupil of Franz Kneisel, whose brother
is a cellist in the Philadelphia Orches-

concerto, which will have it's world
premier a few days earlier in Phila-
delphia. Other Soloists are under con-
sideration.
During the past few seasons the
Philadelphia Orchestra has curtailed
it's out-of-town concerts in order to
play more performances in it's home
city. Mr.. StokOwSki's interest in the
Washington series is so keen, how
ever, that there has never been any
question of eliminating that series.
The seasons activities will include 10
concerts in New York, in Baltimore
and weeks tour of the Middle West,
when Indianapolis, St. Louis, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Detroit and Cleveland will
be visited. Altogether there will be
102 concerts during the season. It is

how, against many odds, they built
up the Aeolian Chorus and did many
other things that brought more peo-
pie into actual participation in music.
Mr.. Adams stated fact that all
thinking musicians recognize and ac-
knowledge-namely, that the United
States will never be musical coun-
try until more of its citizens are
actually participating in the making
OF music. AS long as we pay for
concert stars and are content with
'ready-made" music we will not be
able to appreciate to its fullest Sara
| Teasdale's message as quoted by
| Mrs Adams, Life has loveliness to
SELL
Evidence of the fact that Wash
ington is making progress in local
music development comes to the
writer in tangible form every now
and then. The latest encouragement
and frank comment feceived comes
from the pen of Sophocles T. Papas,
who says, in part:
"A few years ago there was little
evidence of music being regarded as
an art in this city. There was no
proper concert hall; symphony
orchestra was still a dream un-
realized, and we had no opera. 1t is
encouraging to contrast the present
condition OF music in this city with
that in existence several years ago,
and we have good reason to believe
that the further development and
establis hment of the art in Washing
ton will be rapid and decided. There
are a number of serious artists here
who are working earnestly toward
this end, and, in spite of difficulties,
doing much toward making Wash
ington a musical center. The diff
culties are many, and some of them
can only be overcome by untiring
zeal and effort, but there are others
which might be lessened immediate
ly, if once realized. There are many
who condemn local musical activities
merely on the assumption that they
are inferior to the long-established
organizations abroad and in this
country, often without having heard
the one or the other. This attitude
is destructive to all progress. In or
der to reach the desired goal there
must be unity of purpose, enthusiasm
and every possible support and en-
couragement must be given to sim
cere effort, not merely by fellow ar;
fists but by the hearty cooperation
of the public, who often do not real
ize their Importance in promoting
or destroying progress in any par
ticular direction.
Rome was not built in a day, and
to condemn the early results of a
newly established institution is to
discourage further effort and to de-
feat our own ends, for l think Tam
not mistaken in believing that every
Washingtonian is keenly desirous of
having musical institutions in this
city which will, before long, be fully
equal to those of other cities. There
fore let us do all we can to help
this movement by encouragement
and cooperation"
In other words, it is high time that
the people in local music circles got
together, decided on one definite eff
fort to carry to success, and then all
push for it with united efforts; it is
the time to be constructive and not
destructive. The District of Colum-
bia Federation hopes to make the
dinner for Mrs. Kelley a big success.
Here's an opportunity for the church
choir folk to prove human Chris
tians doing for the federation what

title of a recital-talk now in

Riggs, which she will present early in
