In reviewing the contents of the
"Ona B.. Talbot Fine Arts Review
for the coming season, we find that
the Indianapolis Symphony Society
is entering its seventh season of
continuous and earnest effort to
give to Indianapolis and Indiana
symphony orchestra music as the
basic principle for building Of a
musical community.
During the six seasons past every
orchestra of renown has been heard
in Indianapolis, with but one or two
exceptions. This has only been ac-
complished by the practical and
moral support of the group of men
and women comprising the guaran-
tors to the orchestra fund, guaran-
tors of season tickets, as it is a
well-known and undisputed fact or
Chestras do not pay for themselves.
The cost of bringing the finest or
chestral organizations of America to
Indianapolis is such that it requires
every seat in the Murat, capacity
TO 1900, to be sold for each concert,
to pay the cost of presentation. i
There is. no reason to suppose that
in the State of Indiana there are
not many more than 1900 persons
interested in symphonic music. The
three Monday evenings set aside
during the coming season for the
development. of this branch of the
Fine Arts deserves the enthusiastic
support of every one. One thou
sand season tickets subscribed is
all that Is necessary.
With the consolidation of the
Philharmonic Society and SYM
phony Society of New York, the sea-
son 1926~2q viii be the most. brilliant
in the history Of the Oldest orchestra
in the United States.
Under the baton of Willem Men
gelberg, with a personnel augment
ed to ITO men draw from the best
members Of each. orchestra, the
Philharmonic Symphony Society
now bears the, same relation to the
musical life Of New York City as
the Metropolitan Museum of Art
bears to those interested in the
graphic and plastic arts.

favored few to hear the supreme
