March 6, 1851, at the Phoenix
Union High School Gymnasium,
under the auspices of the Phoenix
Chapter of Hadassah and Mrs.
Archer E. Linde, and under the
baton of DR.. Serge KoussevitZky,
is unique in that it's makeup is of
international origin but now COM
pletely Israeli. The Orchestra's
international character was deter
mined when it's founder, Bronislaw
Huberman, recruited Jewish music
ians from all over Europe who were
threatened by the NaZi regime, to
form the Orchestra in 1886.
The orchestra which arrived in
the United States on January LIST

under the musical direction of Dr.
KoussevitzKy and Leonard Bern
stein, both of whom went to Israel
this fall to prepare the orchestra
for it's tour of fifty-five concerts
in forty major cities of the United
States and Canada.
The ensemble has been well pre-
pared for this full schedule by
years of experience in Israel, where
| it undergoes severe schedules under
extraordinary conditions. In the
course of a year in Israel, they
give as many as 200 concerts, which
is four times the number of con-
certs given by the Boston SYM
phony and about twice that given
by the New York Philharmonic in
a small country, which is about
the size of New Jersey and with a
population one-half that of Brook
lyn.
This first American tour of the
orchestra is being presented ma
tionally by the American Fund for
Israel Institutions, and under the
management of Sol Hurok :. and
locally by the Phoenix Chapter
of Hadassah and Mrs. Archer E..
Linde.
Tickets are on public sale at
