Symphony
To Gain by
Tour West
American Music Has
Rank With Classic
on Its Programs.

Orchestra's first trip into the
Midwest during the last week of this
month, Hans Kinder, conductor, yes
terday announced programs in which
the representative music of outstand-
ing American composers will be
blended with standard works of the
classic repertoire. The high light of
the orchestra's westward journey is
its appearance before the biennial
meeting of the Federated Music Clubs
in Indianapolis, although arrange
ments are now being completed for
concert stops en- route.
DR.. Kinder and his musicians will
play three concerts during the two
days, April % and 29, that they will
be at the convention. In addition to
two regular programs before delegates
attending the meeting from every
State in the Union there will be
special concert on April 20 for chill
dren, in which DR.. Kinder will fol-
low the pattern Of his popular stu
dents concerts in Washington.
Native American works will have
a prominent place on all Of the Indi-
annapolis concerts. On DR.. Kindler's
programs appear works by such COM
posers as Harl Mcdonald, Mabel
Daniels, Edgar Stillman Kelley,
Edward MacDowell, Charles Sanford
Skilton, and the Washington COM
posers, Mary Howe and r. Deane
Shure. Compositions by most Of
these musicians were introduced to
Washington audiences by the Ma
tional Symphony during its recently
completed season.
Harl McDonald's "Rhumba" SYM
phony and Mabel Daniels Deep
Forest two of the numbers to be
played in indianapolis, were enthusi-
astically received when given their
Washington premieres by Dr.. Kinder
last Winter.
Washington will be well represented
on the programs in the presentation
OF r. Deane Shure's Circles Of Wash
tngton," an orchestral suite inspired
by scenes in the Nations Capital, and
Mary Howe's Spring Pastoral" Both
have been played by the National
Symphony in Constitution Hall.
Shure's composition, dedicated to DR..
Kinder, was given its world premiere
by the orchestra In 1885,. So success
full was It's performance that it was
given q place in the orchestras
annual request program at the close
Of that season. The composition also
appeared on an orchestra program in
Chautauqua, N. Y, last Summer.
To these American works will be
added several Of the classical master
pieces that have proved favorites with
Washington audiences. With Dalies
Frantz, the young pianist, as soloist,
the orchestra, on its first program for
the federation will play the Con
certo In E Flat" for piano and orches-
ira by Franz LisZt. Another feature
Of the same concert will be a per-
Torrance Of the Brahms "No. 4 SYM
phony." 1.-THE Entrance Of the Gods
Into walhalla," from Wsgner's "Das
Rheingold," and the coronation scene
and love music from Moussorgsky's
Boris Godounov," arranged by DR..
Kinder for symphony orchestra, will
also have a place on this concert.
The following night, when Shure's
"Circles Of Washington" Is to be
played, DR.. Kinder will also present
Schuberts Unfinished Symphony" F"
Glinka's overture, Russian and Lud-
milla;" Wagner's "Traume," as well
as several American works.
When the Indianapolis engagement
Is completed the symphony men will
leave for Morgantown, w. Va, where
they are scheduled for concert on
April 80.
Although the orchestra, in the five
years Of its history, has been playing
over an ever-expanding field in the
East, it has never crossed the ALE
gheny Mountains. The trip to 1ndi-
ana, therefore, makes history for the
organization, and also adds to its pres
tige as q symphony organization,
which, established in the National
Capital, truly speaks for musical
Apoarico
