CONDUCTORS announced for the
special concerts to be given
here this season by the Phila-
~ delphia Orchestra include Leo
pold Stokowski, music director
Of the orchestra. and Essay Dobroven.
a Russian-born composer, who Is q
newcomer this year to the orchestra
group of guest conductors. Each will
conduct two concerts.
Mr.. Dohrowen has been released for
his term with the Philadelphia Orches-
ira through the courtesy of the San
Francisco Orchestra Association. Born
in Nijni-Novgorod tn 1894. Mr.. Do
browen has had an extraordinarily COL
orful career, beginning with his con-
ductorship at the Moscow Opera, con-
tinuing at Dresden and Berlin, in Ger
| many, and in the latter city term
with the Berlin Philharmonic Orches-
ira, and proceeding ultimately to So
fla, where he became the general must
cal director. Subsequently he journeyed
northward to Oslo to conduct the Phil
harmonic concerts there, and then, in
1930-31, came his first visit to the
United States.
Mr.. Dobrowen'S immediate success
with the San Francisco Orchestra re-
suited in an arrangement whereby he
now spends the months of September to
January in the United States and re-
turns to Europe after the New Year for
the latter half Of the season.
An announcement preceding the open
ing of the thirty-third season of the
Philadelphia Orchestra in its home city
lays stress ON the fact that during the
current year the concert programs will
be almost entirely devoted to the &C
L., LODI -
music. This decision is based on the
belief that In times such as the present
audiences prefer music which they know
and love and that performances Of de-
batable music should be postponed until
| q more suitable time. With these optn-
ions the conductors fully concur.
Due to the depression, the association
has been forced to plan 80 that the
largest possible saving may be effected
without in any way sacrificing the mu-
steal standards of former years. Drastic
economies have been inaugurated and
the salaries of all employees have been
reduced
| 1t is impossible, however, to reduce
| the price Of tickets for the concerts, be-
/ cause this figure at present represents
about two-thirdS Of the actual cost. The
| price Of tickets has been calculated on
| the cost OF producing the concerts after
the deduction of the receipts from re-
! cording. broadcasting and the income
from the endowment fund. The associ-
alton asks for the continued generous
support Of subscribers in Washington.
! in order that it may surmount one of
the most difficult and critical years in
its history.
When the concerts open in Philadel-
phia, on October 7. and 10. Mr.. Sto-
kowski will face an organization that
| is virtually intact and unchanged from
last season. To date four new must
clans have been accepted for the horn
and trombone sections.

place where composers can send their
scores for criticism and laboratory
to bring out exceptional young talent,
such as artists, conductors and COM
poSers, and a laboratory where the
work of living American composers can
be analysed and performed. 1t Is In
this atmosphere that his suite From
the Southern Mountains" which he
will conduct with the National SYM
phony, was composed.
The suite Is in four parts, subtitled
Mountain Song" Panorama" AT

other numbers which Mr.. Struggled

National Symphony
Announces New Programs
Lamar Strins held to Be Guest Conductor This
Year-Wll Present New Suite Based on
Folk Music of Carolina Mountains

7 VANs KINDER has prepared
some unusual and interesting
programs for the coming sea
i / son of the National Symphony
Orchestra concerts. One likely
10 attract considerable attention, not
only here. but in the music world gen.
orally, will be the concert in which
Lamar Struggled will appear as guest
conductor.
Mr.. Struggled is hutist, conductor
and composer with more than or
binary creative gifts. He is South
erner-a North Carolinian. He has
taken for his study the Anglo-Saxon
Americans Of the South, as expressed
in their folk music. The mountain
people Of the South have been free
from any contact with continental cul-
ture or any intermixture with the folk
music of foreigners since they settled
in their cabins with the first Ameri-
can Colonists Their ballads, songs
and dances, which have been a daily
part Of their lives, were at first the
folk music Of their English homes. For
a time these remained English until,
in the handing down from generation
to generation, they became richer with
the daily experience Of frontier life and
consequently CllhllScu dilu OcNciOPcu
into distinctly American folk music.
Mr.. Springfield feels that Negro
music, written by composer of an
other race, is not and cannot become
American music. Nor can tie music
OF the American Indian be said to offer
a fundamental basis for American
music Nor * Mr. Struggled content
with the rank and file of American
compositions, staggering along under
burden Of classic and foreign infiu-
ences.
So he turned to his native State and
its university, which was already inter-
ested In the dramatization of the folk
life Of the region.
With the help Of North Carolina
State University and private subscrip-
lions, plus his belief in the work and
q natural obstinacy, he began his In
