individual organiza ton. However, II
does require that all members be af-
flliated with some church choir. II
does not plan to plunge into the big
issue Of forming a noteworthy choral
organiza ton right at the start. This
new edifice is being built on . secure
foundation.
The course is designed to help both
choirmasters and choristers. For the
director, it teaches the technique Of
choral conducting and includes actual
demonstration with a choir. The
singers are taught such fundamentals
of tone work as intonation, attack, the
correct use OF agility and the proper
phrasing in choral Interpretation.
These lessons, at which both singers
and directors assist. are to be applied
at the individual rehearsals Of each
choir.
Hugh Ross who will come to WASH
ington once q month until the begin
ming Of April, Is a conductor Of wide
experience in this particular field.
His choice as director of this new
organi1a ton Is no reflection on the
ability of local leaders, but he brings
to his work background and prac.
tical knowledge that are not the for
tune Of many to possess. He received
his education at New College. Oxford,
and his musical training At the Royal
College Of Music, London.
England has always given special
attention to the development Of
choral study. and in the act Of in
corporation Of the various chapels of
the great English universities, Oxford
and Cambridge, provision is made for
choristers, their education and MAIN
tenance.
Mr.. Ross was made president Of the
oxford University Musical Club and
later conductor Of the Winnipeg SYM
phony Orchestra. He is at present
conductor of the Schola Cantorum Of
New York City and Of the Westchester
Music Festival.
THE musical life of the city prom
ises to be enriched greatly by this
new, all-embracing organization. Not
only will it be of assistance to those
who, by training and inclination, are
active in choral work. but it will reach
that sometimes large group Of choir
members who sing because of the love
for it and find the church choir the
only medium open to them. They are
often not trained vocalists, nor even
good musicians, and have no way Of
acquiring knowledge other than at
choir rehearsal. The Choral Union
is organized to make them conscious
of faults and show them how to cor.
rect them.
Again, organists are not all SUM-
GENTLY acquainted with vocal tech
nique to know how to remedy tonal
defects, especially in groups of singers.
They wear themselves-and the chor-
isters-out with fruitless trying when
a small suggestion from an expert
may bring the desired result. Work
ing with group requires another sys-
tenn than that effective with an in
dividual.
The next meeting OF the National
Choral Union will be held on Novem-
Der II at Epiphany Church, when the
in the chorus will be
closed for the season.

the pit for these concerts, which carry
the symphony through the second
week Of It's new season.
The arrival Of the Russian ballet
has always been an event in the Cap
ital, but never 50 significant as this
visit, when It will appear for the first
time in Washington with a complete
symphony orchestra. This means that
q world acclaimed troupe of ballet art
lists will be enabled to perform here
outstanding symphonic works, such
as have featured its appearances in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago,
Cleveland, st. Louis and other cities
where the ballet has merged its talents
with established symphony orchestras.
The programs on Wednesday and

for performance are:

programs. He will conduct the Prince

"Choreartium" (Brahms' Symphony

The other numbers will be directed
by conductors of the ballet russo COM
pany. Efrem Kurtz, for several sea-
sons musical director Of Anna Pavo-
Iowa and musical director for many
years Of European opera companies,
will be conductor for several OF the
ballets, and Antol Dorati, one Of the
most brilliant of younger conductors,
will lead the others.
The emphasis in the performances
here will be on richness of the musical
background and on the choregraphy
itself rather than on scenery. There
will, however, be considerable work
done to give the dancers a suitable
and adequate stage setting.
